They don't check for mold & get everything in writing!!

[Guest guest]

According to Dr. Kolb's recent posts on explantation.com,

pathologists don't routinely check for mold/fungus when analyzing

explanted implants. This is why Dr. Blais is so crucial to finding

out what is making one ill. He understands that mold/fungus can grow

inside the saline implant through the faulty valves and that it can

also grow inside the scar capsule; thus, why he checks for

mold/fungus. Dr. Kolb said it's " routine household mold, so they

don't test for it. "

Unfortunately, I experienced the same problems with my PS. He

promised me he'd do a complete capsulectomy, EnBloc explant & that he

would check pathology for mold/fungus...but, because I didn't get it

in writing, (Ladies, Be Sure To Get In Writing What You & The PS Are

Agreeing To!) I have no recourse that he didn't check for mold/fungus

in pathology & that he broke my capsule while removing it! Even

though I don't have a positive path report to confirm, I'm convinced

that the smell of mold in my sores and hair and the white film

covering my body was from mold/fungus that came from him breaking my

capsules in my chest. Just would've been nice to have a pathology

report to confirm my suspicions. I can empathize with others who put

their trust in their PS, but got let down!
