Update: Conspiracy Mind Candy

A reliable source tells me that the plot for this show originally had "Eli Stone" representing the mom because her insurer wouldn’t pay for her autistic son’s risperidone, an anti-psychotic drug that previously wasn’t FDA-approved to treat autism. But the FDA recently signed off on risperidone to treat some symptoms associated with autism. Did that real-life change have anything to do with the script alteration? I preferred the old script. If Hollywood has to drag someone’s name through the mud, health insurers are a better candidate than the vaccine establishment.
