I hope these women get the help an compensation they deserve.. I'm a male suffering the consequences of pelvic hernia mesh in 2006 which was tottaly the wrong procedure to what should have been done! I'm not alone with this where's the help for us coming from now?
Here in the States, there are huge mass tortes (lawsuits) not only against Johnson and Johnson, but several other major companies. It has been noted that the mesh used, was never ment to be placed in the human body.
Debbie Witek These huge Companies get away with, negligence, immoral and criminal behavior, among other things.imo they should be shut down and thrown out of business.
@@wonderfulwenna2710 And yet here they are dispensing experimental vacseens in mass quantities. 75 *million* of them ordered destroyed by the FDA so far.
I was offered this surgery last year. The doctor even told me about the lawsuit that's happening in Australia. He showed me a list of side effects from the mesh and then a list from the older style surgery where they use your own body faschia to form a sling instead of the mesh. I went for the old style operation. Sure it took longer to heal, but there was way less risk than the mesh.
I had mesh put around my esophagus due to diaphragm rupture...it sliced through me like a knife and causing a large infection and plural effusions requiring more surgery.
She lost her health, job, marriage, self, reason to live. Winning won't end her pain, but it will give here some justice and cover all her medical expenses.
I had surgery 2008. I delivered a big baby, my youngest and later had stress incontinence. Had this kind of surgery and helped me up to this time. It is helpful on my part. Since it's close to 15 years I will let the doctor, my gynecologist or whoever they refer to check its conditoon.
My mother had this done. She was in pain for the rest of her life. She had UTI's and took antibiotics then got yeast infections. Over and over and over.
but in australia they still use johnson & johnson mesh till today, I have mine 5 months ago and will removed tomorrow, we shouldn't believe 100% what doctors suggested
In Ontario, Canada, doctors deny the existence of these terrible side effects...and thus lawyers don't feel they have a case. I have suffered effects that are unimaginable and have no hope of relief or compensation. Helpless in Toronto🙏🇨🇦
I'm currently suffering from pelvic organ prolapse and my doctor a resident suggested mesh I have decided against it. My family has also been stripped from being emergency medical contacts
This is only being compared to thalidomide because of the amount of people affected. The mesh problems are horrible but comparing them to infant deaths and deformation in the title, seems to be making light of them in a very passive aggressive way
I'll be totally honest sometimes mis titling videos can have a positive effect for some I only clicked on this because of the title but now I won't ever have this implanted
I'm aware of both tragedies. The title did bother me a bit. Though the real difference about the mesh is it's not as obvious as missing limbs. It's also a newer problem that they are trying to get awareness to prevent even more people suffering. Instead of trying to compare and judge who is suffering worse. I'd rather focus on how to prevent these tragedies and cure the victims.
Yup. I’m suffering now because of it. I’m constantly in pain. No longer can jog, or run, or hike, or dance or do anything I used to normally do. Life is over.
Doctor talked me into a Bladder tape or sling He used both terms. Sex hurt me and my husband a month after Had to have removed Not all out My Bladder leaks 24 /7 now. Worse then before surgery and my settlement should of been more but it took 6 years to settle and no doctor will takes me seriously even now. I've always tell my friends never do it not worth the pain
i have had a bladder stone due to mesh eroision i have had three mesh implants done only found out that there was a eroision be for i had the last one done witch was the sling . i am waiting for appointment to go to john radcliffe hospital in oxford i only found this tuesday . its discuting two years in complete agony and still waiting
I've mesh in right know. An since covia19 is out an about I'm afraid to get the removel an afraid to get it removed to have more completions than I'm having right know. Some anual leaked an pain in my side at time an feels like my urithia is getting cut in half an bleeding some to.
Don't get me wrong it must be horrible but the consequences aren't nearly as devastating as thalidomide and in my opinion it's inappropriate to compare the two issues.
I need mine removed. I am in HORRIBLE PAIN have been for 11 years now. But the death rate of women who have it removed is 1 in 5 within 5 years -- often a long slow death from the complications. So DAMNED either way. The settlement is insignificant and does nothing for the pain.
i hope these women will be able to get help and undo this procedure, but we also have to understand that our healthcare systems, procedures, and treatments will NEVER be perfect
Oh yeah I have a hernia mesh surgery (inguinal/groin area) that is causing long term discomfort, nerve damage/pain, also potential can become infected and cause major health issues.
Please read about CL02 or MMS...It's saving me from sepsis and I can do 5 mile hours again. I still have immune issues but no infections or pain. Please tell these women they can survive this.
