Re: MRI Identification of implants

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend:

The MRI should show that your implants were ruptured, but I'm not sure.

The doctor and the hospital have to give you your records. We are all so

vulnerable after being explanted, I know that I was. Find a friend to go

with you, the pathologists report should tell you most everything that you

need to know. Most pathology records are easy to obtain, just go directly to

that department. Some women have their lawyers contact the plastic surgeon

for their records.

You could call Dr. Blais here in Canada, he might be able to give you some

advice. His phone # is 613-728-8688 and his fax is 613-728-0687.

Good luck...love....Lea

She is right. They HAVE TO give you your records. If they don't

tell them you will send them a subpoena from your attorney. They

will get them motivated. (I work for attorneys who do this all the

time, so I know!!) THEY HAVE TO GIVE THEM TO YOU. Don't leave

without them and if they try to say they can't scream a little

louder!!!!!! (They are all afraid of geting sued!)

Dear Ladies --

As for my lying PS and hospital -- they found a way around the laws --

they claim that they found my records but cannot find any of the

implant ID or product insert records there. When I then asked them

to send me the rest of my records for me to look through them myself--

they then said they could find where the rest of my records went.

Unfortunately the law only helps when you are dealing with honest

people. Since I can no longer sue for malpractice -- the statute of

limitations is long passed for my surgery -- the only thing I have

been told over and over is that they will not give over my records

for fear of being exposed for the wrongs done in my case. I have

been told that if I subpoena my records, they will be destroyed (if

they have not already been) to see to it that they never reach the

light of day.

SOOOOO - I must use alternate means of identification for my

implants. I have been told that Dr. Middleton can probably identify

them via MRI. The $64,000 question then is: is that sufficient for

the settlement facility? Does anyone know of anyone who ID'ed their

implants successfully with an MRI -- whose MRI was considered

sufficient proof of identification? I want to know this before I go

to the expense of flying to San Diego for this MRI. If the MRI is

not going to be acceptable proof then I must ensure that my

explant/repair/possible 2nd reconstruction surgery occurs by late May

or I will forgo the rupture $$$ -- and surely I have at least 1 (if

not both) implant ruptured by now.

Thanks for your wishes/concern that I should be able to get my

medical records and I agree -- but I have sadly learned through this

miserable ordeal that you cannot force those who have no conscience

to be honest.

Regards,

lu
