Re: maybe if I rephrase my question some one can tell me

[Guest guest]

Thanks for answering my question, that was my opinion too, that was

why I was so surprised to here a well known PS tell a patient that if

she had not got sick in 6 years chances were she would not have. No

can can predict that, silicone gel victims didn't get sick for years

and years, I also see allot of hip and knee replacements at work and

people think it is no big deal, but you won't ever catch me doing it,

ha ha ha.
