For his pal taylor swift. Welcome to the stage, ed sheeran. Now, he sells out stadiums all his own, with new friends like pharrell. Tonight, the unlikely rock star reveals the advice from taylor hell never forget. But first, the nightline five. You want to fix this mess . A mess . I dont think thats snapshot from progressive. Its free. You want to try . Ill try this if you try not this. Okay. Yeah. Number one in just 60 seconds. Good evening. Tonight, a jury is deliberating a bizarre case involving three doctors, two relationships and one love triangle. The man in the middle now convinced one of his girlfriends spiked his coffee with a sweet poison. She denies it, hes alive. And now hes testifying against her. Heres abcs ryan owens for our series, crime and punishment. Out. Reporter shes a world renowned Breast Cancer researcher. She was profiled in this video for the susan g. Koman foundation. One of my aunts died with lung cancer when she was 35, i was 10, so, that was when i made the decision this is what i wanted to do. Reporter but did anna gonzalez, who dedicated her life to healing people, also poison one . The defendant had a fatal attraction. Reporter tonight, a texas jury is deliberating that very question. And the evidence is going to show you that she became absolutely and totally obsessed. Reporter and well get to all that, but first, the basics. Prosecutors say in january of 2013, the 43yearold colombianborn oncologist spiked her lovers coffee with a chemical found in antifreeze. You cant tell its there by looking. Reporter its also common in laboratories, including those at houstons md anderson cancer center, where dr. Gonzalez and her lover both worked. A highly regarded lu eed lung c specialist testified that the two lovers engaged in oral sex, shared a vodka shot and headed into work. Before they left gonzalezs house that morning. She had a special coffee she wanted me to try. Reporter he knew immediately something was wrong. I said, whats up with the coffee . Reporter this will kill you, but the taste is sickeningly sweet. What did she say . She said, oh, i put splenda in it. Reporter the jury watched this cell phone video, shot hours after he took a few sips of that coffee. Dr. Bloomen shine is in the hospital waiting room and has a tough time even forming sentences. Ive gotten progressively, um discoordinated. Next to him, dr. Anna gonzalez, who would later be charged with aggravated assault, to which she pleaded not guilty. Behind the camera, dr. Bloomen shines longtime girlfriend, avett tony. I actually thought, hes dying in front of me. Reporter at the time, she had no idea her man was having an affair with his fellow researcher, dr. Gonzalez. But she knows now. I felt stupid. I was there for three weeks and i kept thinking to myself, you made me look like a complete idiot, nobody said anything to me about this. Reporter by the next day, dr. Bloomen shines kid nighs failed. He was close to death. Its just hard reliving this. Because i almost died. Reporter after weeks in the hospital, he pulled through, and began his own quest to find out who poisoned him. Blood and urine taken at the hospital found no traces of the poison in bloomen shines body. I think the state is proceeding under the theory that this is a mystery like a puzzle. Why did he go in to kidney failure within a certain period of hours after he drank the con co concoction in those are the pieces of the puzzle. Reporter he suspected dr. Gonzalez. He even secretly taped phone calls trying to get her to admit to it. Im not a crazy person a, we were friends, but after all what happened, you need to understand that i feel pretty bad. I feel pretty used and i feel completely betrayed. Reporter in the tapes, drchl gonzalez repeatedly points the finger at the other woman. Why in christ would ill ever hurt you . Why . Why would evette hurt me . I dont know. I dont know you two. I would have run away a long time, but you know, i mean, its different. You seem to know things better. You seem to know her better. You trust her. Reporter there were five more hours of them and the judge did not allow the jury to hear the most explosive parts. Like when the colombianborn doctor brags shed had people assassinated and that she takes care of things the clolombian way. Backing aside, what could push a woman to allegedly poison a man who just minutes before, she was intimate with . Dr. Gonzalez, if this is true, wanted to exact a revenge. She was hurt. But we have to look at the fact that people have hurt every day. I certainly would say that the dividing line is someone who may have more of a pathological behavior. This is a friendship because i trusted you. Reporter we should point out dr. Gonzalez was not charged with a crime in colombia or anywhere else, except for the poisoning of her lover here. And her defense team says the states case is just a guess. That theres not a shred of evidence. Their client poisoned anybody. What we are engaged in and what they are going to be offering you is little more than guesswork. And folks, we dont guess people into felony convictions. Reporter today, they shocked the crume kroum by handing thei clients fate to the jury as soon as prosecutors rested their case. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defense also rests. The defense in this case, i think, made a brilliant move, by not putting up witnesses, they suggest the states case is so weak, they didnt need to put up witnesses. Reporter while prosecutors admit their case is kish circumstantial, they believe she poisoned him because he chose the girlfriend over her. A twisted love triangle that left one man almost dead and another woman Still Standing by him. Are you still with george bloomen shine . Yes. Ill ask what everyone in the room wants to know. Why . Because i know the affair with the defendant is not the sum of who he really is. Reporter will the third member of that love triangle spend the rest of her life in prison or could she walk away a free woman . Tonight, only a jury of seven women and five men will determine that. Im ryan owens for nightline in houston. Next, it may seem like youre getting a great deal with the je merrick version of your meds, but are you really getting what you think . And later on nightline, were on tour with ed sheeran. Its time to bring it out in the open.

Generic medications save us more than 200 billion a year. A bargain for the same product with just a different name, right . Well, nightline investigated and it turns out, some of those drugs are far from identical to the brand new ones. And that could mean you arent getting what you think. Heres abcs Senior National correspondent jim avila. Reporter when robin lynn was prescribed a generic version of a popular drug, she didnt think it was going to be a big deal. I thought all along that generic drugs are the exact same thing as the name brand drug. Reporter well, why wouldnt she . 8 out of 10 prescriptions written in America Today for filled with the no brand new version of the drug your doctor prescribed. Its the exact same formula, right . By the middle of the day, i would sort of have no energy and crash. Reporter maybe not. I knew that that was just not normal. Initially, we heard from just a couple of dozen and then eventually hundreds. Reporter and it wasnt just her drug. Harry lever, a cardiologist from the cleveland clinic, found what he says was a similar problem with a generic form of Blood Pressure medication. Patient would come in to see me and i started to notice that they werent doing as well as that they were on the name brand drug. This is the peoples pharmacy. Reporter this story really begins with consumer watchdogs joe and terry grade. Strong advocates for the use of generic drugs. Next time on the peoples pharmacy, well bring you up to date on the Health Stories behind the headlines. You can save an amazing amount of money. Whats not to like . Reporter soon, they found plenty not to like. Coming up reporter right around the time robin reached out for answers, joe said he began receiving a rash of complaints about the same drug robin was taking, a generic form of wellbutrin. You they were getting very jittery, experiencing headaches and some of them even expressed suicidal thoughts. It was like getting a shot of adrenaline first thing in the morning. It would make my hands shake, my heart would pound. And it wasnt really controlling my depression symptoms. Reporter worried about robin and hundreds like her, he contacted the u. S. Food and drug administration. Hey, something strange is going on here. Could you investigate . And pretty much we heard nothing back. The fda didnt seem very responsive to our concerns. Reporter so, he decided to investigate on his own. While generics have to contain the same active ingredient, the medicine, the fda does allow them to use different inactive ingredients. Binders to hold the pill together and time release agents to disperse it. He enlisted dr. Todd cooperman. He runs consumerlab. Com. Independently testing generic drugs and how quickly they release their active ingredients. What we found was shocking. The generic released its ingredient very quickly. So, youre getting a burst of medication coming out very early on with the generic that you shouldnt be getting. Reporter leaving little drug for the rest of the day. It seemed like the fda wanted to kind of quash this issue. Reporter the package insert that came with the drug stated that the drug had been tested in a study. And e give lance was demonstrated with the name brand, wellbutrin. But then, a shocking admission from the fda. The fda finally admitted that there had never been a study on this generic, never been tested in humans and that the information in that package insert was thejust made up. Reporter we went to see j someone at the fda to get an explanation. There was concern about testing the generics in normaln volunteers. We had had seizures reported and we were worried that we would be unethically exposing volunteers. They didnt want to do that test in healthy people, which seems ridiculous. I think they made a big mistake there. Reporter the fda did require testing in a lower dose of the drug and used those results to approve the 300 milliongram strength. Finally, five years after the first complaint, the fda took that strength off the market in 2 2012. In fact, it was not equivalent enough to the brand drug. Reporter and so thats the reason why it was recalled . Thats correct. Tune in for the health news that matters. We felt vibd kated. After being told for so many years that we were totally wrong, that it was all in peoples minds. Reporter people do wonder when they are prescribed a generic drug, is this just as good, is it the same . What do you tell them . Yes. We stand behind the fact that generic drugs that are in the u. S. Market have deliver the same performance as the brand drugs. Reporter other forms of generic wellbutrin are still on the market and they are all considered safe, in fact, experts agree that generic drugs are, in general, extremely safe. But remember that heart medication . After dr. Lever complained, the fda announced that two generic forms of that drug manufactured in india were voluntarily recalled, even though the fda said it was up to standards. Is that just a coincidence . We think it is a coincidence. We have tested all the products on the u. S. Market, all right . And we find that theyre all adequate. Reporter she says these recalls were routine and due to some specific lots that may have degraded over time. Dr. Ready is one of the companys that manufactured the drug, also told abc news that the voluntary recall was related to specific manufacturing issues with the two batches in question and not related to manufacturing of any other batches. Dr. Lever isnt buying it. All i can speak to is what ive seen. And ive seen problems. And when you have batches that are removed, you begin to wonder that there are problems and you cant just ignore it. Reporter the watchdocks like joe and dr. Kooperman believe most generics are completely safe. They still have concerned. We suspect there are at least dozens, if not scores of generic dregs that may not live up to the standards that the american publix expects. Reporter the fda disagrees.

And all your Little Things reporter like swift, sheeran takes inspiration from his real life heartbreaks. His latest single dont is a raw breakup song. The story is, ironically, it was one of his buddies from one direction who allegedly turned around and stole his girl. Though Neither Party has acknowledged the incident. Sheeran wont name names, but recently, howard stern pressed him about his ex. Did you confront the guy who did this to you . Yeah. Did you say, youre breaking the bro code . Yeah. Its a difficult conversation to have. He was my mate. So it was just a little bit, ah, not cool. Reporter do you regret writing about such personal things . I think its nice to get something positive out of a bad situation. The song will live on forever and people will be able to find solace in it. Reporter sheerans moved on in style, performing at the grammys with fellow brit and role model elton john. I understand that taylor has given you advice on how to have longevity in a career as opposed to just being a flash in the pan. Constant humility, constant evolution.
