It's always this way with medicinal products and their pseudo-forms (or at least a lot of them). Somebody has to suffer and die of something so people begin to realize a mistake was made. Unfortunately, some have to suffer more than others to get the alarm bells ringing and Eben Byers is no doubt one of them. It is good to read that he did not suffer a great amount of physical pain but the awareness of such a horrendous decay inside him and his jaw missing is the apex of fear factor.
