((While lawyers for Robert Courtney were asking a Federal Judge to let
their client out of jail until his trial--FBI agents were stepping up
their investigation.
They say the Kansas City pharmacist diluted the chemotherapy
drugs--Taxol and Gemzar. Then he allegedly sold the watered down
versions to local doctors--who in turn unwittingly sold them to cancer
patients--patients who were fighting for their lives WITH DRUGS THAT
WERE NOW EITHER INEFFECTIVE OR MORE DANGEROUS.
(SOT: CHRIS WITLEY/US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE/AUGUST 15)
"IT CHILLS THE SPINE TO THINK THAT THIS SORT OF THING WAS GOING ON."
(GRAPHIC)
Federal investigators say a bag that was supposed to contain 300
milligrams of Taxol was found to have only 83 milligrams, and in the
worst case a bag labelled 2400 milligrams revealed no traces of Gemzar.
Agents are talking to doctors who may have received the cancer drugs
from one of Courtney's two pharmacies.
They're also talking to as many as a thousand people who have called a
hotline--set up after Courtney's arrest.
Prosecutors say money could have been the motive. One treatment of
Gemzar costs patients more than a thousand dollars--a lab check of what
agents seized from Courtney showed it was worth less than 250 dollars.
Gloria Baxter's husband Jim spent 35-hundred dollars every three weeks
for Taxol she thinks came from Courtney's store. Her husband died in
March.
(SOT GLORIA BAXTER/AUGUST 16)
"HE JUST DOESN'T REALIZE HE'S TAKEN HOPE FROM SO MANY PEOPLE AND I JUST
THINK HE SHOULD PAY FOR WHAT HE'S DONE."
Right now Courtney faces one felony count--mislabeling and adulturation
of prescription drugs. If convicted he faces three years in prison and
a quarter million dollars in fines.
But the FBI says more charges could be coming as it builds its case
against the father of five.

But there are signs that could indicate professional help might be needed. For example the child makes repeated physical complaints --like having a headache or upset stomach --problems not noticed before.
The child doesn't want to get out of bed to go to school -- and when her or she comes home they don't want to talk about school.
Another indicator might be the child continues to experience symptoms of anxiety -- like increased restlessness, memory problems, or a short temper..
But for most kids, the jitters and anxiety will pass in a week or so. Marks says its important that parents just be supportive and not judgmental throughout the process.
