First do no harm

I've been watching this movie recommended by someone on the IS forums. I'm about halfway through and have cried half a dozen times. This particular 9 minute segment really resonated with me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulds5oWpKKw&NR=1
In this part, the mom loses her mind because the drs have her child on so many medications, some of them to offset the side effects of OTHER medications. Her child is still having seizures despite all of the meds. It's awful to watch but a fairly good depiction of what a parent goes through when your child has a disorder that is not always treatable and the right combo of drugs can be difficult or impossible to find.

you can watch it in it's entirety if you start with first do no harm 1/10.
