My Brother-Has a completely occluded-and is alive only do to collateral circulation-my sister an MD just had hers removed-I am an RN and KNOW I will loose my Brother early due to the filter-sure-He may have needed it-bout not removed-for months-(He had had brain bleed-'fixed' then 'Fell coded in Calif-Then filter put in-I am horrifically upset-Primarily that My MIT Grad and IVY League Med School Sis? Was unable;e-or unwilling-To explain the pros and cons of the device-was NEVER given a brochure regarding the device (I would have researched it) She Blindly Trusted her MD-and THAT? Is wrong a top doc? Should give all available medical device info to patient as is done for cash payment Cosmetic Sure Patients-Why are MD s so LAX and uninformed about the Failure of So many 'Medical Devices'? I'll tell you MONEY! Where is the list of Company payouts to MDs ? Where is the Disclosure info?— People do NOT know the questions to ask-Legal Nurse Consultants? Are Educators by Training-Un-used by the Facilities they are employed by-It is horrible for me personally as I was recently faced with a dozen family and friends/Professionals-Angry at my questions-and The MDs ? Played that-as They-are the ones implanting these devices-If the patients do not Leave surgery with written info regarding the implanted device-along with their POA..? I believe this is 'Failure to Warn' 'Breech of Duty' and MORE—Sometimes it is hateful to be the ONLY one informed—My brother is still alive-but in California—but the Filter-has become so Blocked by clots? It cannot be removed—I fear -- My nephew may loose his father--and already has been traumatized-although it is not the #1 problem-My brother cannot be doing well-and I am sick at the thought--It would be better if I knew he had understood-or his wife had-I inquired-about the protocol-when he was to have it checked or removed—Being on the East Coast? He is in UC Davis area CA—Then my sister had back surgery and had a filter placed due to-'brothers' need---Thankfully she had it removed-0But I refused to take her to have it removed and Her husband drove -- I Knew despite the 'Outpatient' act 'no big deal' It was a VERY Big deal-and I was not about to play ER communicator to POA--when sh@# 'Could' happen AND I was angry that given my brothers-NOW blocked Vena Cave??? WHERE IS THE 'Informed Part?? Of Informed consent??? I would consider myself pretty liable if I did implant devices-that patients did not thoroughly understand pros and cons--If the DR wants to use a filter to 'Avoid a lawsuit'? They will not do that-long—As I NOW hear all I would expect regularly PROBLEMS—and my understanding? Is that there is a markup of 75% way more than any Apple Computer-An actual QUALITY product--Hospitals?--?? Make a pile of profit on this 'grandfathered in crap'--It sickens me--Especially when it is the third family member harmed by a Top Hospital--In the last decade--Our system is not broken for the people reaping in profits fort this continued problem-DRS are Not Harvard Business School Grads-And Harvard Business Grads are not Doctors (Add generally to both statements)Put the 2 together and -PROBLEMS as each is really NOT primarily focused on improvement-a great DEAL of the time--Medical Devices can TOO Cheaply and easily be put on market-FDA?? Spends little money---add the crisis in CRAP non tested Generics..? I just Had to go bvack to Health and Fitness-as I have seen too Little hope of improvement ESPECIALLY in Hospitals That-continue to USE a non profit status-When they are ANYTHING but not for profit--Show me the Payoffs by these Companies to MDs? Hospitals-Full disclosure? HARDLY- It will CONTINUE because as a 'Public' We are Un informed EXCET by Advertising PAID for by the very people selling snake oil at BEST and dangerous unproven devices-Even the MDs are Un informed enough to KNOW-They need to understand 'Manufacturing-(SH#$..Happens REGULARLY) and Must educate or HIRE a Licensed Certified Nurse Educator (not a medical device Sales Rep) if they want to stay out of court---It is SAD that is what it takes-Taking LIVES until--Enough People suffer--And until they stop selling unproven poorly manufactured and unexplained devices are planted into their body—Only the corner (if they look) will see Real Cause of death-nob wonder cremation is so 'Popular'---Am I angry. sure And it is not going to improve when my phone rings--AGAIN--WITH MY PREVIOUSLY WORLD CLASS CREW AND FOOTBALL PLAYING BRO-? BECOMES MORE HARMED THAN HE EVEN KNOWs -Quite frankly? The harm it has caused me-? Has been significant-and As u should not be your own Lawyer? Unfortunately peole pay and listen for a MD ort Lawyer---But no one will pay to Educate Peole-So Apparently These are the people that will need to anser-and risk Liability if they do Not Provide 'UnBiased' Education-...Sure I have stong opinions-I have seen things that turn my stomach-and its NOT getting better-The more this stuff is swept uinder the rug-The more pthe money is noir Folloewd? The more danger we are all in-Its a gamble-If you do not need-it--Wait till they get the bugs out-and THEY HAVE'nt!!---If they Have? Show me the Data---I have asked and asked and the Anger??? At my Questions? Is unreal-If someone will NOT give Me infor? That is about MY HEALTH ? Hello---RUN---When did we all go mute?
