Re: anyone reimplant./Vickie

[Guest guest]

Actually while it is partly def my own fault and responsibility, in

all my pre op excitment to get implants, my Dr and his nurse both

failed to give me the paper work, the FDA booklet, the McGhan

booklet, or even have me sign my consent. Now i did sign my surgical

consent, and the anesthesiologist did go over the anesthesia risks

quite well, but because my surgery got pushed back to another date, I

never had that pre op visit again with my PS and he never gave me any

of that stuff till 7 days after I got implanted. I remember going for

the stitch removal and I did not even know how many CC's my implants

were or what kind. That is pretty dumb of me, but also bad of him. He

became shocked when I asked him and he said " didn't we go over the

informed consent and give you the ID for the implants blah blah " and

i was like " NO " and then he sort of seemed nervous and called his

nurse to get me all the paper work and to sign the consent. I still

have this consent dated April 11th 1999, and my surgery was April 5th

1999, so this I thought would be enough to sue over. But no lawyer

would touch it. They all said, well you signed it eventually so

there is really no way to sue, bla bla, so live and learn I guess. I

don't completely blame my PS however, I should have been more

vigilent, I just basically was so nervous I did not want to think

allot about the details, I just wanted it to be done get the boobs,

and go on my merry little way and live a happy life with big boobs.

so it is def partially my fault for not asking more questions.

I learned allot from this experience for sure.

Mentor that explained all the dangers and side effects of implants,

just like you get from a pharmacy when you get medication. I was in

no way uninformed, just one of the unlucky ones who could not

tolerate them..
