Re: Oregon news broadcast on implants

[Guest guest]

I watched the broadcasts and sadly, I wasn't impressed. I wish they'd done a better job explaining how so many women get sick from implants, or mentioned how Mentor and other companies hide or don't collect proper data on complications. I also felt the broadcast was edited to make Cheryl, the woman who was sick, look dumb. And that PS who brushed off the debilitating symptoms women get from implants as just your average headache, etc. GRRR. Still, better than no broadcast at all, I guess.

I have yet to see or read any "serious" journalistic report on implants that doesn't tilt toward the industry. It is so frustrating! Has anyone ever interviewed Feng, Kolb or Melmed on any of these "news" reports? Except for the one TV news report I saw with Melmed, I haven't seen any. It's all so biased.

I couldn't agree more . . . all broadcasts seem tempered to appease someone!freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: I watched the broadcasts and sadly, I wasn't impressed.

Those doctors have been 'discredited' by hyping from BI manuf, and plastic

surgeons.

I have seen Melmed, in particular, demonized by a plastic surgeon.
