I don't know if you know this, but more people die from general medical maltreatment than any diseases. I forget the word for illnesses caused by doctors, but there's a certain word. It's the nature of the medicinal field that medications are sometimes worse for you than the disease. For example, there's a syndrome, i believe called rene's syndrome that results from taking asprin when you have a fever(generally in young children). It's pretty serious; it can cause coma, death, retardation and many other things. My girlfriend worked for a place that takes care of crazies and 'slow folk, one of her clients had that happen to her. She was schizophrenic and brain damaged. All from asprin, something you might not think of as dangerous.
And children are just that much more succeptable to medications than adults.

Anyway, i forgot to add: This isn't a big surprise.
