I used to do Data entry for Pfizer and you would be shocked at what the FDA considers and adverse event (meaning something caused by the medication). I actually got reprimanded at one point because a patients car got landed on by an airplane while they were driving on a freeway and I didn't report the adverse event. How in the heck is that an adverse event I have no idea but it was considered one.

This doesn't surprise me at all.
