Stanley Keyworth vs. Sidney Freedman

FIGHT

[veale2006-blog]

This Day In History Cyanide‑laced Tylenol kills first three of seven victims On September 29, 1982, three Chicago area residents become ill and die after ingesting Extra-Strength Tylenol later found to be poisoned with cyanide. They are the first of seven victims to lose their lives after taking the over-the-counter pain reliever, which had been tampered with. The case would create a national panic over the safety of nonprescription medications and lead to new standards for pill packaging.

Seventh grader Mary Ann Kellerman was the first to die after taking the medicine overnight to combat a sore throat. After the next victim, Adam Janus, didn't wake up from a nap, he ended up in the emergency room in critical condition, and later died. After visiting his older brother in the hospital, Stanley Janus went back to Adam’s house with his wife, Theresa. To alleviate their stress-induced headaches, they both took capsules from the open Tylenol bottle that was sitting on the counter. They too were poisoned—Stanley died that day, and Theresa the next, after lapsing into a coma.

Other victims included Mary Reiner, who had a headache after giving birth, 31-year-old Mary McFarland and flight attendant Paula Prince. After Prince’s death, Richard Keyworth and Philip Cappitelli, firefighters in the Windy City, realized that all seven victims had ingested Extra-Strength Tylenol prior to becoming ill. Further investigation revealed that several bottles of the Tylenol capsules had been poisoned with cyanide.

While bottles of Extra-Strength Tylenol were recalled nationwide, the only contaminated capsules were found in the Chicago area. A possible culprit was identified when investigators discovered letters demanding $1 million to stop the killings, but a lack of evidence prevented a conviction. The mass murder did, however, lead to new tamper-proof medicine containers. It also led to a string of copycat crimes, as others sought to blackmail companies with alleged poisoning schemes, most of which proved to be false alarms.

And only now I realise The West Wing's trauma psychologist Dr Stanley Keyworth and Northern Exposure's cryptid/gourmet chef/compulsive liar (or is he) Adam are the same guy?

How come I never realised Bill Lumbergh and Bingo Bob Russell are the same guy?

Tbh Stanley Keyworth is a national hero

Like he helped Josh recover and regain his ability to function after he got shot

And then helped the president of the united states move on from his father's abuse and actually get some sleep for once

I don't even want to know what would have happened to Josh if he didn't go to therapy. He broke a window?? With his fist??? Idk if it ever explicitly says he was suicidal but there was some not good stuff going on in his head

And Jed is the President. He kind of has to run a country?? And having someone to help him through personal issues was just really a good thing

I don't know where I was going with this but appreciate Dr. Keyworth

“well, that doesn’t really sound like something they let you have if you work for the president. so c-can we have it be something else?”

STANLEY: Usually with a gunshot victim it's a car backfiring, or a twig snapping, but that's not what it was with you. JOSH: What was it? STANLEY: [turns to Kaytha] Kaytha? KAYTHA: The music. STANLEY: The brass quintet. JOSH: Why would the music have started it? STANLEY: Well, I know it's gonna sound like I'm telling you that two plus two equals a bushel of potatoes, but at this moment, in your head, music is the same thing as... JOSH: ...as sirens.

"I....I just wish I could've done something for them..."

"Clay. What could you have done? Remember about fixing people, or situations? You didn't even know Justin at the time, and Sheri was in juvenile detention. What, you want to build a time machine now, too?"

"No! I just..."

"What?"

"I feel bad about this! Okay? I feel really bad about this. Just let me feel bad about this!"

Clay learns about some secrets that Sheri and Justin have been keeping from him. It’s the next chapter of “The Maze of Moments” (two in one week, what!) over at AO3! Give it a read!
