Relevant Social Media Posts Are Fair Game For Discovery In The IVC Filter MDL

A couple of weeks ago, we reported that, under pressure from the Drug and Device Law Rock Climber, we were headed to New York to see the Broadway production of Orwell's 1984. Publicity surrounding this spectacle focused on audience members fleeing, fainting, and/or vomiting during the torture scene.  Incautiously well-fed (Vietnamese/Thai food from a singularly memorable Hell's Kitchen bistro) and more than a bit apprehensive, we made our way into the theatre, where the assault on our senses began with a disconcerting background hum that continued until the curtain rose.  Whereupon ensued two hours of blinding flashes of light, lots of crashing sounds, plenty of blood, and some pretty cool dental torture.  We did not vomit, faint or flee.  And we liked the show more than we expected to, though we typically lean toward "happy" – the lauded and wonderful but lamentably short-lived recent revival of Finian's Rainbow at Lincoln Center was right up our alley.
