Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi - The manufacturers will only provide in a warning what is absolutely necessary to covr their collective tuckuses ... They will never admit to anything unless their is a successful highly publicised lawsuit that does not end in settlement.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sad, but true. They will do whatever they can to obfuscate and deny any illnesses associated with implants, even though women are getting sick by the thousands. What I don't understand is how they can be so obstinate about it all. I mean, consider the fact that some people react to bee stings in a very violent way. Some people react to tuna fish or nuts or whatever in a very dramatic fashion, while most other people can handle these same substances without trouble. So, we know that there are very individual responses to things. It just plain happens. So, why can't they even bear to admit that SOME women may be reacting to this foreign object in their body? It just happens to some women! You'd think they might be able to at least admit that much! Doctors can be so blinded by $$$$, by politics, by personal bias. They are just plain ignorant at that point! Patty > Just curious if anyone knew of women who have tried to sue these > implant companies after complications?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Patty that is SO true!!!!! There is huge MONEY in the implant business, and not just from breast implants. If manufacturers or the AMA were to question silicone implants (seriously that is), then it would call into question a whole host of silicone products. What about silicone heart stents, for example? The gender issue involved with breast implants has added fuel to the fire, in discrediting the 'victims'. That, combined with the involvement of doctors in denying the risks, make this an extremely difficult issue to expose. I don't know what it will take...but I fear it will take many more hundreds of thousands of sick women. > > Just curious if anyone knew of women who have tried to sue these > > implant companies after complications?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Patty, there is simply too much money involved.. and what is frightening is that doctors are complicit in this cover-up. I do believe that many doctors do not know, but only believe what they read. But you know that many ps know. This is tragic. > > Just curious if anyone knew of women who have tried to sue these > > implant companies after complications?
