@Sharon Jensen ​ I am about to get my first Mirena IUD out, because it is time for my replacement after having it in for over 5 years. I understand that there are some very risky procedures out there, but the statistics for Mirena complications show that it's a rare occurrence for a mis-insertion or the device piercing the uterine lining, and even if it does, it is reported to feel like mild bladder cramps with a simple removal operation. I just felt the need to say this, because I can't imagine living without this device. I absolutely cannot have children, as I have multiple genetic disorders that I am unwilling to pass along. The Mirena IUD is more effective at preventing pregnancy than taking both the pill and using a condom at the same time. I had an estrogen imbalance, causing crazy periods, terrible hormonal acne, dramatic mood swings, etc. Which has since been corrected by the IUD. My multiple illnesses were greatly exacerbated during my periods, and accentuated the pain to an overwhelming level. The Pill is also not an option, as it delivers approximately 90% more hormones to the body, and disperses it all over, rather than concentrating on the uterine area as the Mirena device does. I have not had a period in four years. Before, I would leave puddles of blood on my bed every night during my period, I would have to skip school and/or work because of the pain, and a tampon + a super thick pad wouldn't even be enough to hold the flow. My only side effects were a week of bladder cramps (far less severe than my periods) and a full month of very spotty bleeding, and then for the rest of that year I had a spotty period every several months, until it disappeared completely. The FDA is shitty, but that device has been thoroughly studied and is an absolute necessity for so many women. ***An absolute necessity.*** If you want to critique an IUD, let's talk about the copper one. Because THAT makes all your period symptoms far more severe, causes bladder cramps that last for the duration of possessing the device, oh, and did I mention waterfalls of blood?

That's horrific.

This may not have been the manufacturer's fault.

@@tony232cool Or have an independent body actually fund the tests to make sure a product is safe instead of waiting til thousands of people die who have no idea they're being guinea pigs for a new untested product.

@@userasdf That's the principle in the EU: Things (food, medical devices, whatever) may only be put on the market when it is intensively proved they are not harmful and every possible risk is eliminated or very little. In the US things are put on the market, although there could be many known risks, and only taken off again when these possible risks and critical incidents start to occur very much (speculating that the possible risks could not occur at all and then money for testing would have been "waisted"). I'm not claiming that there wouldn't be scandals in the EU, as well, of course there are, but this is a fundamental difference and the major reason while European people fought against TTIP, being afraid that American companies would sue European governments before international arbitration courts, founded by TTIP, for limiting their profit (considered as "demage") because of the intensive tests European law makes necessary.

Many employees are under extra legal harassment, threats of litigation and criminal persecution for trying to protect patients.

Ongoing problems with titanium hips it are being covered up by the corrupt Boston courts and police who interfered with court hearings to protect Cambridge Consultants executives from having to perjure themselves in court. While railroading whistleblowers who spoke out about safety issues and were systematically retaliated by managers, then HR, then courts, then cops. There are serious questions about Depuys titanium hip implant strain sensor biocompatibility and efficacy that engineers were too frightened to speak about. Insulins injector studies compromised? Following this, Medrobotics fired a former CC engineer who forced them to invest in years of development to ensure patient safety over quick bucks for a throat-snake robot. (CC relayed threats to sue Medrobotics for "poaching" if this former CC engineer does not stop speaking about toxic CC retaliatory culture). Citizens Arrest for David Bradshaw, general manager of Cambridge Consultants for perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice! Bradshaws lie, patients die.

Take pelvic mesh, which is being called the largest medical disaster in women's health since Thalidomide in the rest of the world. The AU has even issued an official apology to women for not protecting them. The FDA? All of the pelvic meshes are STILL on the market except for mesh placed vaginally for pelvic organ prolapse.

Welcome to late stage capitalism

Not really. Money are not "the root of all evil". Human ignorance is. The bottom line is, people need to be aware and control things to ensure everything is ok. Believing in goodness of human nature is inspiring, but it works much better when coupled with the consideration of the risks involved.

The problem is a system that prioritizes capital and capital accumulation above anything else

@tacodias: good rule of thumb. The approval process in the EU used to be different from the US. The thinking behind a '510k' clause is typical American. Let the companies settle with the consumer later if something went wrong. In the EU, the authorities wanted to prevent harm coming to the consumer in the first place, in the US private entities sue each other instead and this process is a substitute for government oversight. Unfortunately, the EU shifted to the US model in recent decades.

Nah, the lobbying from all the shady industries are already too deep in the government. They'll never go for it and just ride it out until everyone forgets their mistakes

@nobodys_winds Damn, is the situation really so hopeless?

I'm not an American, admittedly, but I'm willing to vouch that, yes, the situation is THAT hopeless. It's not Brazil levels of corruption, and i could see the USA doing a 'Market Watch' like you suggested (albeit extremely non specific and filled with already public information), but in the end it's all about money, power, and control to these people.

@ nobodys_winds Oh so it's hopeless but it's still not as bad as Brazil? Damn, makes me wonder how it is in Brazil.

(the government isn't necessarily there for the population's well-being)
