Hey Brad,
Why can't you file. Obviously the mesh is not doing what it was intended for. Go ahead and file and let the FDA sort it out. If you are still suffering with complications from having a mesh implanted wether it be recurrance or ongoing pain, then of course you can file! the hernia conference is now over in scotsdale and you would be amazed at how many doctors and surgeons are having patients come back with complications. The national Meshoma foundation set up shop there for the weekend and found many surgeons that have spoke against the use of mesh, but also basically said that if the government wont do anything about the problem they will continue to use mesh. I am in contact with the president of the Meshoma foundation, he is an alright guy who is suffering just like us and only wants what we all want, surgeons to be honest with their patients and to help put a stop to this. you can google national meshoma foundation, there is some helpful info there. There were many many nationally recognized surgeons there that spoke against the use of mesh, where others don't know how to perform a hernia operation without using mesh. if the government put a stop to the use of mesh for primary and secondary hernias, that would put many surgeons out of work. |
