Howard Sadwin, too late, sees clearly the trap that he entered when he got his second failed hip. He has researched the ecosystem of toxic lies & misinformation that are told by medical device sales reps, hospital administrators, FDA regulators and even elected officials. He traveled to Washington DC June 27 and 28, 2012 to testify and share this information with the public.
According to Howard, no journalist has yet
to go beyond hip trial or personal
stories. It is time to tell the full story to protect our nations' healthcare funding. Allowing failed devices to compete directly with functioning devices exposes patients to devastating harm.
Pre-emption laws are not
events mentioned nor understood. The media can help expose this flaw.
The FDA was created for our
safety and well being yet the pre-emption laws protect PMA approved
devices. The pre-emption laws were to
prevent patients from suing manufacturers for every little issue. They were not created to harbour a
manufacturer from prosecution when their device malfunctions, hurting
thousands. (Such as Smith&Nephew’s
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing device (Bhr). ) The 5th amendment gives us the right to Due Process, part of
the Bill of Rights protets against abuse of government authority in legal
procedure.
