I am copying this from Washington Parent Magazine.
"Children's Hopsital in DC is joining 11 other children's hospitals and universities across the US to find out which of two commonly prescribed medications is best for treating seizures in children in the Emergency Room.
Because seizures can be life threatening if not stopped immediately, medication has to be given within five minutes of a child's arrival in the ER. There might not be enough time to talk to a child's parent or guardian about the study, so a child may be enrolled in the study without a parent's permission."
