| Stanley Silber just knew something was wrong. Playing tennis, walking his 4 miles a day, his body wasn't responding the way it should.
Sure, he had arthritis here and there — who doesn't at age 70? But for three years, he'd had it under control with a fantastic drug, so it couldn't be that. He went to a cardiologist.
"He saved my life," Silber says now. "He took me off Vioxx."
Now, he and his wife, Susan, are the first Palm Beach County plaintiffs in a gathering avalanche of lawsuits against Merck & Co., the maker of Vioxx.
