Exclusive video deposition of ex- GSK employee, Jane Nieman in the case of GKS vs. Kilker
From the Seroxat Sufferers Stand Up and Be Counted blog by Bob Fiddaman.
"Items of disclosure showed that another patient had discovered she was pregnant in December 2000 while being treated with Paxil. However, she reported that at six months gestation the pregnancy had to be terminated because the fetus was diagnosed as having Truncus arteriosis. Her physician told her that the child would not lead a normal childhood and would most likely not make it through the open heart surgery that he would need as soon as he was delivered, if he was able to make it to that time.
The video deposition sees lawyers probe Nieman for answers. What she revealed was damning for GlaxoSmithKline. It's also interesting to note that Nieman digs herself an even bigger hole when she suggests to lawyers that the initial report that concluded that the patient's termination was "almost certain" [related to Paxil] may have been a clerical error. Under oath she said;
"There's always the possibility someone made the mistake and checked the box wrong."

It seems that GSK had a hard time keeping track of pregnancy on Paxil statistics, and got worse at it as the years passed according to the testimony.....
