This was ALL Preventable Harm - TV #Mesh Devices from 7+ Manufacturers remained on market after Boston Scientific ProteGen SUI Mesh was Recalled in 1999 (it was the ONLY One ever Recalled) ProteGen was the Predicate for ALL TV Mesh Devices that received Clearances from the FDA.

We have suffered enough. #mesh “There are over 11,000 Australian women who are now entitled to bring individual claims for compensation and they may be fighting Johnson & Johnson for their compensation for many years to come”
Shine Lawyers welcome today’s High Court decision which means thousands of Australian women affected by defective pelvic mesh implants will finally see justice after their many years of pain and suffering. Read the full release here: bit.ly/2ZSgKSC

#BREAKINGNEWS: Thousands of Australian women have preserved their landmark class action win against medical giant Johnson & Johnson, with the High Court of Australia rejecting their application for special leave to appeal. More to come.

We are told to trust the evidence. But what if the evidence is flawed?
If u ask a criminal “did u commit the crime?”, can u expect the answer is “yes”?

Absolutely outrageous that BSUG will stop at nothing to try to reinstate the suspended SUI #mesh tapes. I am constantly asked at various meetings - how can we rebuild women's trust.... not doing this sort of nonsense would be a good start
this BSUG survey👇 is desperate and counter-productive. it alienates patients and undermines the Cumberlege Review. procedures were suspended because of patients - and cannot be reinstated unless patients’ trust is restored. @RCObsGyn @APPGFDNH surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2GLK7DM

In this UK Trial of #Mesh tape 90% failed. Many other trials had similar results. Some women went from ha minor inconvenience of stress incontinence to permanent disability due to tape mesh hooks damaging their pudendal nerves leaving them in wheelchairs teapawt.org/FibroidNetwork/status/…
UK Experimental #Mesh Trials have resulted in serious complications for women. 90% #Mesh Tape failed at St Marys Manchester & Royal Victoria Hosp Newcastle. Only 10% Cured. 38% had ReOps. There are not enough Drs with skills to remove @MeshCampaign onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Vaccine passports for access to domestic public life tears up two sacrosanct freedoms: ▪️medicinal decision autonomy and confidentiality. ▪️the right to participate in a non discriminatory society. It is authoritarian, illiberal and wrong. Please retweet. #NoVaccinePassports

Most hated phrase is "Lessons learned". Actually means nothing. Absolutely nothing. Those who say it have no intention to learn. Who reviews whether any learning has taken place.

Today FDA and @CDCgov issued a statement regarding the Johnson & Johnson #COVID19 vaccine. We are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution.

#NICE guidelines on #chronicpain are already impacting the #mesh community. Woman refused her muscle relaxant this week. We were harmed once by mesh & now 2nd time by having pain meds taken away. We fully support @BritishPainSoc & #FacultyofPainMedicine who have serious concerns

Patients turn to social media because gynecology cannot/or will not help them. This post, suggests endo is present without a biopsy and a drug caused it to disappear without a biopsy to confirm, misleading to pt and dr alike. You may not like social media but gyn fails us

The worst thing about being a victim of medical negligence is knowing no-one and I mean no-one including medical or legal staff will believe you and put you first,
