Dr. Sharla Helton, of Oklahoma City, won a $15 million lawsuit against Allergan over the side effects of Botox, which she says left her in constant pain and partially paralyzed. A jury agreed that Allergan had failed to disclose potential side effects. The company is appealing.

I think she ought also to be suing her doctor for not fully disclosing the risks that are mentioned in the label, too, but there must be SOME degree of blame on the plaintiff as well: if you aren't motivated enough to learn how a deadly poison works to "smooth" your skin and "eliminate" those wrinkles, you shouldn't be paying someone to inject you with the stuff!
There are legitimate uses for Botox, but those are about controlling genuine suffering, not pretending you aren't a normal aging human being.
