Fighting to Protect Patient Rights
Advancements in medical devices and drugs have revolutionized health care, but defective devices and drugs often lead to serious, if not fatal, injuries for the patients they are supposed to help. In order to maximize profits, corporations have cut developmental costs, misrepresented the effectiveness of products/drugs, and ignored dangerous side effects. The real price for such reprehensible behavior is the thousands, if not millions, of patient lives they risk.
Here are some examples of defective medical products and dangerous drugs that have caused serious injuries and/or death:
- Testosterone gels have shown risk of stroke, heart attack, blood blots and death in men
- Actos has been linked to a 40% increased risk of bladder cancer
- Hernia mesh implants can lead to organ perforation, infection, intestinal obstruction, hernia re-emergence
- Transvaginal mesh patches have been linked to increased risk of bladder perforation, urinary incontinence, and follow up corrective surgery
- Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters may detach or fracture inside a patient’s body and cause serious injuries
- Xarelto can lead to potentially fatal uncontrollable bleeding
- DePuy ASR hip implants required corrective second surgery in many patients and exposed patients to hazardous and even carcinogenic materials
