The Michael E. Gerber Talk Radio Show - Big Voices in Small Business show

Summary: Michael interviews Lynn from Connecticut, who is writing a book about a tragedy she had 15 months ago. Her husband was missing for 5 days. Previous to that, he was put on a medication that put him into a psychotic state. He wandered for four days, and police didn’t see any reason to look for him because they live in a small town. He was found dead on the 5th day. He was found hanging from a rope. Her husband was 46 years old, and had gone to a doctor for Acid Reflux, for which he was prescribed a medicine. However, the doctor prescribed a drug which the FDA had put a black label on, but they didn’t know about it. She is writing this book in the hopes that no one else has to go through what she and their two children are going through. She lost a husband, but her children lost a wonderful dad. She hopes that her book will somehow help pharmaceutical companies and doctors become more responsible when they prescribe medications. Lynn asks Michael if she going in the right direction? Is it such an off the wall thing to take a tragedy in your life, make a positive out of it, and reach out to other people? She doesn't want to bash pharna. Her family had a wonderful life together, but now she realizes how fast life can change. So, she is thinking about using the book to speak about the tragedy, and possibly start an organization to help others going through this. How would she do that?
