I agree it is very disheartening to find out that doctors and
pharmaceutical companies are exaggerating data or leaving out essential
facts. We are reading about more ineffective drugs all the time with
something major every year (at least). If something seems to good to be
true (like taking Celebrex and having adhesions reduced 70 to 80%) it
probably is faked. Greed is overcoming America and I am someone who has
suffered from surgery due to a hernia mesh that contracted. My original
surgeon told me it was all in my head and it was actually discovered to
be contracted and folded up. I am past the 3 year statue of limitations
or else I would seek compensation for all the suffering and medical
bills I had. I am doing better and so may not do anything right now.
But I believe it is important to keep up with the latest news.
