RE: Re: Sick after implants? Report your health problems to the FDA!

[Guest guest]

The problem is that the FDA's Medwatch forms for doctors are voluntary not

mandatory so the doctors are not reporting the problems!

Lana,

That's so true. In fact, in recent years, the

requirement for doctors to report complications was

removed! . . . ??????? Too much trouble for

doctors!!!

However, anyone can report for themselves with, or

without, their doctors cooperation . . . Just follow

the instructions on the website.

While we have no reason to believe these reports are

taken seriously, the sheer volume will eventually get

the attention of those who can use this information to

change things.

Hugs,
