I sent the following E-mail to Dr. Philippe. Thousands of us are in his debt.
Dr. Philippe,
As you advised, the boy stopped taking Nevirapine immediately. Within 24 hours his agony, so intense he wanted to commit suicide, was diminished. His erupted skin now appears normal. His abdominal pain is diminishing. His mucus membranes did not become involved, nor did blisters develop on his skin. It seems the Nevirapine was stopped just in time.
You were in desperate need of rest the evening I called you. Nonetheless you phoned Dr. Xxxxxxx on the boyтАЩs behalf, and sent me a text message to be sure I understood the Nevirapine must be stopped at once. Your sacrifice spared the boy protracted and unimaginable suffering, and perhaps death.
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (Geezer)
(тАжand the boy was not even Dr. PhilippeтАЩs patient.)
