The Second Mesh Scandal “ I am writing to raise a second, distinct scandal sitting alongside the question of financial redress, one that cannot wait for a compensation scheme to be resolved, because it concerns whether mesh-injured women can access safe surgical care at all, right now, today.” #meshscandal #Saturday

Women are still suffering 8 years later - this is the second mesh scandal

🚨Second mesh scandal No one was trained to remove it - and 6 years after the IMMDS Review still no one is trained! According to statements from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), pelvic mesh removal surgery is an entirely new area of clinical practice, meaning there are still no formal , standard global training programmes or fellowships specifically dedicated to extracting eroded pelvic mesh rcog.org.uk/careers-and-trai…

In 2014 The Legendary activist Erin Brockovich joined @SundayMail campaign for NHS patients left in anguish regarding the #mesh #scandal @ladymcbeth2 @ErinBrockovich 12 years later women feel forgotten and totally let down with the unveiling of a second phase in the #mesh scandal, partial and botched mesh removals instead of full removal of the plastic made from crude oil resin Quote Erin Brokovich …….. “The only way we’re ever going to see an end to scandals like this is by making sure, if wrongdoing is found, #criminal charges are brought against those responsible. “We have firms who know ­something has gone wrong and they hide that information “They refuse to take responsibility, although they have damaged hundreds of thousands of lives. “If accountability is making them pay a billion dollars when their company has $90billion, that’s not much of a sting. “But if the accountability is personal to them, just like those injuries are personal to those women whose lives have been ruined, that’s different.” dailyrecord.co.uk/news/healt…

Second Mesh Scandal 🚨we need a public inquiry into why no one was trained to remove mesh devices in preparedness for surgical failure - there was nothing They knew the plastic mesh material was going to a permanent implant - this was never properly explained in consultation - and being a permanent implant with associated dangers these devices were shoved into the pelvis with a ‘blind’ surgical procedure and no post op scans 🚨within 2 weeks of implantation the plastic would have been fusing to internal structures and already too late to remove easily Misplacement of these devices did occurr - which meant the permanent plastic became ‘stuck’ to internal structures that it shouldn’t have and they had no skills to remove it promptly These devices have deteriorated internally now over decades and women are very sick but continue to be gaslighted even after the Cumberlege Review ! This appalling situation is now deserving of a public inquiry My letter to the PSC sent today 17th September @BBCPanorama @bbchealth @itvnews @CommonsHealth @APPG_WH @vicderbyshire @ShaunLintern @PHSOmbudsman @andyburnham @YvetteCooperMP @mariacaulfield
