Are we even sure this is true? and not just that reporting is getting 
better?  I don't like to see the focus on 'fatalities'--I think it 
should be on 'treatments' (which almost certainly ARE increasing).  I 
would like to see us stop the cycle long before it gets as far as death.

Good stuff.  I don't think anybody is seriously proposing rule changes 
and such right now, without adequate study.  We are mostly just tossing 
around ideas--hopefully when we have more data to work with the issues 
being discussed now will give us a basis for considering options.
