WOW. someone, everyone. needs to keep them accountable. THIS IS MANSLAUGHTER

Thank God for Google and KZfaq. That's how I diagnosed myself with pernicious anemia (tests confirmed it) after my doctors told me for years that I was psychosomatic and had anxiety. F-ing a-holes were fine with watching me get worse and worse and believed I was doing it to myself with the power of my mind. Idiots.

That's horrible!

In 2017 I had your exact procedure, bone meal installed in my jaw bone to pad some extracted baby teeth and to bolster a future dental implant. My LVI dentist gave me a choice, human for $250.00 or bovine for $1200. I chose bovine. He said that complications were minimal with bovine and this material would settle better for me. I trusted his judgement by knowing his training although I was worried about rejection having issues with white filling rejection/cracking - but so far so good. Added plus, I'm not vegetarian!😂 Sounds like you had an allergic reaction. Those Drs were required to run a check list on you / asking about recent medical procedures in order for them to pinpoint the cause of your severe reaction- which was clearly a rejection to the material from your dental procedure.

Please get tested for TB. It does not go away. No telling if you have it, where it will settle in....

Modern medicine treats the symptoms, not the illness.

Thank you for sharing this story. I had no idea. You may well have saved lives. I hope your husband is okay now.

There's at least 1 Law & Order dealing with this - a young man died from what at first the detectives suspected to be a poisoning. Turns out he actually died of ovarian cancer - he had a donor bone used to save his leg after a severe car accident. Of course, the same shadyness was uncovered during the investigation. This has been an ongoing problem for decades. Good looking out for your husband!

@@mambi74 Just curious...you say he died of ovarian cancer, but men don't have ovaries. Did they say the donor died of ovarian cancer, or had it when she died? Did they say what organ the cancer affected in the man? Promise I'm not picking on you, I'm genuinely curious--hard to imagine ovarian cancer affecting a man.

I have donor bone in my mouth. I would not do it again after seeing this. They need better testing done to the bone. This could have been me !

@ Doxymeister In this specific case the man received donor material which was contaminated with cancer cells originating from ovaries. So if the donor had bone metastases from ovarian cancer and the receiver gets bone material from this donor, then he will develop “ovarian” cancer in his bones. A biopsy of his bones will show that the cancer ceels had originated from ovarian tissue. I know of a case where a woman had her ovaries removed 25 years prior but still developed ovarian cancer in the abdominal linings with severe distension of her abdomen (ascites). Science has proven that ovarian cancer originates from cells in the falopian tubes. These cells have the tendency to migrate from the tubes and attach themselves to the abdominal linings. Years after tube and ovary removal, these migrated cells can still turn into cancer which is called ovarian cancer.

OMG, how horrific for you! I'm sure you must have suffered a lot! I wasn't aware that that kind of transplant is being done. That's a very extensive operation. I hope so much you were able to make a full recovery, and are as healthy as possible now.

Im so sorry you were infected, however working in organ and tissue transplant there is a list of diseases we test EVERYONE for. TB is not one of those infections, however when you go on the UNOS list you are asked if you are willing to receive tissue from donors that are infected with certain diseases such as hepatitis C.

​@@dylan8575that's not okay!

Imagine getting blood now.

You said it all and correctly. Scary.

Well, they've addressed some unforeseen issues regarding the bone tissue they received from the tissue bank. Now they want a fresh start, naturally. But the tissue bank who supplied the bone tissue for their product should be investigated

The get away with Murder & no one ever goes to jail. It's unbelievable! Greed & power is an awful thing.

People don't go to hospital because they don't want to be bankrupted

They aren't afraid. You are. They understand what's happening. You believe that these corporations think of you as you do.

SCARY. I’m even nervous about blood because soooo many people can be carrying things we don’t test for, like Epstein-Barr.

Please do some research on the body's response to metal and foreign body I am telling you people unless you have a severe broken neck or broken back in which it has to be pinned together there is zero reasons to have these devices in our body when you go in to get a fusion all they have to do is put a bone in between your two bones put you in that color there's no need for four metal screws and big metal plate also if you read the insert for these metal plates it specifically states that these plates are temporary only and must be removed at the patient once Fusion has completed it also takes a patients must be aware that they cannot do any bending twisting really moving of that part of the body due to the high breakage

Please pray about whether this is truly necessary.

I had a spinal fusion at age 18. Painful & now I have arthritis around it but it did what it was supposed to. It was bone rubbing on bone. Discuss your various options & concerns with your doctor. They don't mind. As for metal I've had the titanium in my back for 20+ years & no problem from it. It's better to get it done before your back degrades too much too. I hope you recover well & start to feel better. Make sure to follow their directions & get up as soon as possible to carefully move around. Also pillows are going to be your best friend. Lots & lots of pillows to place around you. Under legs, behind your back, in front of you & so on.

Yes. I hope the family sues and keeps telling people they changed name.

It’s been 20 years. You’re good. She died within months

@@thehapagirl92 Just putting it out there so people know there are options 🤷‍♀If people can avoid using a donor at all costs, they should.

I wholeheartedly agree, but sadly many hospitals don't facilitate self-donations. I had a major surgery a few years ago and I enquired about donating my own blood in case I needed it during or post surgery, but I was told this was not an option. Fortunately, I ended up not needing it after all. It's really great that you were able to do this, and that everything went well for you.

Very wise. Thank you for sharing these options. I’m facing a similar surgery in the future, as is my brother. I’m going to share your post with him, as well as bring this up during my surgical consult.

Thank you for sharing that. It's rarely talked about the issues with foreign blood donations. Your body's natural reaction is to reject foreign matter, it's treated as un infection so your body's forced to fight it off which increases the recovery time. Generally those without blood transfusions tend to recover faster from surgery. Also as long as liquid + nutrients are supplied after surgery your body can produce more blood on its own to replace what was lost and the risks of complications are reduced father down the line.

There is nothing that is 100% Safe. However, testing protocols should be implemented. Performing testing panels on the bone material to be used. Not only for TB but also for other dangerous pathogens. There should be a list of tests to be done on each Cadaver and also QC tests including pathological tests done on the material after processing. Help me spread this idea.

@@user-uy8nw9zm6b undetected cancer can be missed. It’s pretty rare for an early cancer to be transmitted by bone graft anyway. There are a few cases in the literature where cancer and other diseases been transmitted via organ and tissue transplantation. There is always some risk but the organizations overseeing the process work constantly to minimize any risk by constantly monitoring the screening process and updating criteria. There were also some illegal tissue banks ten to fifteen years ago where tissue from donors with known disease were transplanted. These were people who should never have been considered for donation because of their medical history. I had moved onto organ transplantation by then. It was a huge scandal all driven by greed. The families were unaware that tissue was taken from their loved ones. Things went bad for the recipients. It was just awful for everyone touched in anyway. The doctors and others involved went to prison.

I have also had bone used in my upper jaw when I had a dental implant. I didn’t feel that I was in danger but knew there was a slight risk.

There is no excuse for tuberculosis to be overlooked in a donor.

I have always wondered how they can use cadaver bones without contamination from the other person. I wonder how many other people have come down with stuff and dont know how they got it.

This was meant for me to see because my other option was bone graft for my dental treatment.Not no more.

Just had 12 bone graft Tuesday gobble gobble 😮

When one loses bone density in gums it needs to be replaced if a denture or dental piece is to sit properly on top and the person does not have enough of their own to be taken from somewhere else in their mouth. A good oral surgeon will go over this with you and explain that donor bone will be needed. Now here is where they cover the options and what is best. Options include cadavor bone and bovine. Generally the cow being the better option. Also better received emotionally by people.

I had the same experience at age 12. Thank God my Mom was a nurse and knew to use my own blood and hip bone for my scoliosis surgery.

Does your hip still hurt?

I’ve had numerous spinal surgeries with my own bone and with donor bone. Just over 4 months ago was my latest surgery, and I’m pretty sure they used donor bone. I’m going to try to find out where my donor bone came from. I’ve recovered well, but the surgeries have been unsuccessful.

@@Painintheknee Yes, everyday. And, I'm only 44.

I saw this woman doing yoga on a hanged blanket and she went upside down and her scoliosis straughtened out idk Good luck

I feel you and know you have been in pain, mentally (nerves) and pain all over body

I wondered about compensation for the Families! You'd think the company would have insurance for covering issues with deaths from their neglence. Not that money takes the place of a life, but one assumes their responsibility to thoroughly test live tissue falls on them.

I was given the option of my own bones or cadaver bones. Usually you choose cadaver as it's an easier surgery.

Hope you are doing well I have refused surgery for the fact that I just don't think the outcome outweighs the risk for me

@thurayya8905 , I am very happy that things turned out well for you. But please be aware that your case is not typical, especially among patients who have been determined to be surgical candidates. Scoliosis can be quite debilitating and even a life shortening condition. One patient’s experience is rarely, if ever, a basis for clinical recommendations for other patients.

Parents don’t always give kids a choice. I was almost forced to get plantar wart surgery when I was 13. Luckily it took so long to get approved that my plantar warts went away on their own.

yeah, Im not buying that. sounds like you were misdiagnosed as a teenager

What kind of dancing were you doing? Thank God for your healing. People are so skeptical about stories like yours, I have a healing story of my own and rather than people being happy for me they immediately question my diagnosis 🙄 but anyway, their lack of belief doesn’t nullify the miracle I received.

I have an 75 degree curve, at least last time it was checked. It's an "S" curve, so it balances itself out. The other thing doctors fail to explain is that the bolts and rod can cause infection, the rod can bend or break, and in such cases infection and excruciating pain is expected and many surgeons will opt out of doing coerective surgery due to the high risk of failure. I have lived with this for over 40 years, and ain't no way anyone is cutting into my back. Such a horrific story. So sad for this family!

Pharma and medical are all profiteers and dont give a SHIT about everyday "consumers." they call us useless eaters havent you heard?

Orthopedics is the cash cow along with cancer treatment of hospitals. Always consider that with recommendations…an orthopedist tried to rush my wife into this surgery without even attempting PT, chiropractic, injections, acupuncture or meds.

It’s all about the profit. Just like they use people’s emotions on the abortion issue and say it’s about women’s rights. In all reality that’s a small portion of the issue. It’s about those baby parts and cells for the medical industry. If it were about women’s rights then they would be able to define a woman 👩

@@Juss3 Looks like they may have sold it as, you don’t have to graft from your bone because we have this product that works just fine.

Changes made ? Or is the company The problem?! Infuriating !

Great point about donating blood and gay men . I often wonder why the one lady being head of the cdc said she would never want a blood transfusion even if it meant her dying

At least one hospital in Boston is going to use blood donated by gay men. They will still test the blood, but gay men are no longer automatically excluded from donating blood.

to be fair ...gay men are still at highest risk for HIV ...something bout the anal tissue being not that protective

Wrong. On August 7, 2023, the American Red Cross implemented the FDA’s updated final guidance regarding an individual donor assessment for all blood donors regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This change eliminated previous FDA eligibility criteria based on sexual orientation.

So basically they lie about the safety of this option because it makes them major bucks.

The disc institute

I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis back in the early 70's at Charlotte Memorial. They used bone graft from my hips like you are talking about.

You never know what illness is lurking in the cadaver body. The immune system is good at hiding and suppressing symptoms for it's own protection.

It is a totally different and extra procedure to take bone out of the iliac crest, and it adds to the bill and the time the patient is on the OR table. . However, it was only the safe way to get healthy bone coming from the patient. Yes, now, it is hardly ever done unless it is a special request. The company that provided the cadaver bone dropped the ball by failing to have TB eliminated. Sterilization should have done it. However, they may wiggle out, if the patient signed a release and it was mentioned, in it. These companies are well informed as to what could go wrong with the bone graft, so it may cover what has happened to this young woman. Business as usual. Would not surprise me.

Right?? That’s All The bone they could get? All the people who donate their body parts and they choose this person?

How can you donate bone to others? I didn’t know you could do that besides a bone marrow transplant. (Sorry I’m not the most educated with this stuff). Does it have to be taken when you’re alive and/or can you sign up to me a donor for bones after death?

Zebralover: i agree that her family never should have taken her away from the hospital when initially taken for her symptoms because she more than likely would have been administered life saving treatment, especially antibiotics, for the TB infection, which apparently was already systemic so would have shown in her blood testing. That was a huge mistake on their part.

So true

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 12 and we opted for bracing. Surgery was strongly encouraged by my first doctor but my parents thought it’s a big risk so they brought me to many doctors to check if surgery is really necessary. Thankfully, my curvature improved a tiny bit with bracing. I know some people with very severe scoliosis don’t have other option than surgery though. What shocks me the most is how far some people are willing to risk their lives for unnecessary high risk surgeries like BBL. 😭

I had classmates with scoliosis who had surgery and a rod placed in their backs and they’re all fine.

@@bigmona2741 They probably had good health insurance. That was the key. Patients of color on Medicaid hardly receive the same treatment as White and gainfully insured. Please don't be ignorant. This is not just for Scoliosis this is across the board. There were plenty of white girls with good insurance that had surgery when I was in school. They picked their doctors and treatment, it was not based off what they could afford. I am grateful for the white girls at my school, they would donate their old stuff to me after surgery. They were awesome. They also stood up for me when a gym teacher insisted I participated in an activity when I told her my back hurt, I was written up for insubordination. The instructor literally bought literature to the principal to prove scoliosis does not cause pain. But a girls dad on my debate team stood up for me because his daughter too had back pain before her surgery. Often times doctors experiment on poor people of color, my mom didn't take the chance and I'm so happy she didn't. Your statement about your classmates is comical, considering we're on video about a woman who was not fine.

Stay strong, you will get through this!!!

My sister killed herself after back surgery failed.

Yes nothing is guarenteed eps in such surgery! The 95% of the patients who have a much better life now are all glad they did have it! and recomend it!

It’s so sad to see this happen. You’d think there would be more screening. I don’t have nearly as much hardware, but you learn to live with it. You have to adjust to a certain amount of pain. It lessens over time because it becomes normal to feel a certain way.

I broke my foot and I had hardware in my foot for 6 months and the pain was crazy I can't imagine what this feels like

I've had this exact surgery. It definitely takes "adjusting" to. I couldn't even sit, walk, or sleep the same. Mobility and range of motion changes. After about a year, I get used to it. My body accepts the foreign objects and starts growing tissue etc around it.

@@Littleangel_-jp4xbwas it worth it? Is it better to get the surgery or not

@@AyeJye In my situation, yes. My curvature was so severe and progressive I would have been in a wheelchair probably within 5 yrs. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 10 yrs old. Had the surgery at 20. I had 2 curves: an upper at 55 degrees and a lower curve at 100+ degrees. Mine was a very extreme case. I was newly married at the time and I wanted to be able to do things with my future kids, walk and keep up with them etc. At that point, I wasn't even able to walk up and down the block without hurting. With my severity, there really weren't any other positive options. It was have surgery or be in a wheelchair. So, yes, I'm doing better than I would've without it. Added nearly 2 inches to my height lol. I certainly don't hike mountains, backpack in the Alps, or do a lot of strenuous stuff. But it certainly made life manageable.

I'm in disbelief that biological material is not tested for everything. I guess it would be inconvenient for the company. And cost them money. They killed people.

You have to be tested for TB for most health care jobs and for immigration, it's bizarre that they wouldn't do it.
