Patient Focus Board Message Board

I hear you! 10 years of Botox with no issues and then second round of Dysport and within hours I felt dreadful. Resulted in anaphylaxis days later with a trip to ER. Too many symptoms to mention but brain ‘numbness’ sore jaw, dropping twitchy eye lids, numb right side of face, shortness of breath, swollen tongue, Inability to Swallow, chest pain, anxiety, pins and needles, paralysed limbs, palpitations, heartrate shooting up in the middle of the night, uncontrollable shakes and twitches, …

Yes. Thank God.

Reducing Readmission Rates Using the Re-Engineered Discharge (RED) Apparatus

Reducing readmission rates are a priority for many health care organizations. There are many reasons that readmission rates may increase and there are strategies to reduce readmission rates in facilities. The case study titled, “Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute Slashes Readmission Rates with AHRQ-based Discharge Program,” was chosen for this article. Reducing readmission rates means there is a change in the care …

Isn't the FDA in place to protect patients? How did this go on for so long?

The FDA called the post-market surveillance study of the controversial birth control device “adequate.” Only 307 women have been enrolled in the Essure arm of the study.

The agency said it received about 6,000 medical device reports in 2018 related to the Essure birth control implant previously sold by Bayer. This is in addition to the nearly 12,000 reports the agency received in 2017 related to Essure. FDA said the n…

No they wouldn't because a lawyer would never take a case from a company that makes a scalpel. That's why Intuitive is a target and dare I say victim in many of these cases. Surgery is a risk regardless of the device(s) used during each case.

I wouldn’t know. I have two different copies of my operative report detailing two different procedures. The DaVinci surge took longer than was anticipated (which is crazy bc robotic surgeries have a known issue of taking a lot longer to start with) and the hospital won’t give me the incident reports that the surgical techs submitted to Risk Management. The DaVinci logs are not available unless subpoenaed.

It can’t go both ways. If transparency isn’t a priority in innovation that is putti…

“The site's system logs were reviewed with a procedure date of (b)(6) 2018, error 23075 was identified pointing to the right gimbal, indicating that it possibly moved without the surgeon's hands on the grip” idiot

Btw, what is up with the known issue of the wires breaking at the weld? What is your welding process in manufacturing and at which plant?

The documentary highlighted A LOT of bad things going on with the da Vinci.

That film was so scathing there was no chance they could have saved anything.

This is from years ago. Why rehash it now?

You and the rest of the ISI rats are going straight to ****.

No proof you say? Go read 2017-03-13 066 Redacted Pl MPSJ Memorandum from Pohly vs. Intuitive and get back too us.

A lot people know about these internal documents from Intuitive and they do prove the company knew. These documents have and will be continued to be used in injury court cases. They prove the Intuitive knew for years about their defective tools and told no one and didn't take them off the market even after injury and deaths started being reported. Since then 277 deaths ha…

yep

Finally someone making sense.

DWAS is so boring.

You can't be serious...

Something meant for babies should be safe for adults, and many adults use baby powder.

Only in America.

At least JNJ doesn't have IRS Tax Liens in AZ and PA like the OP does.

Not much of a warning.

How can FDA allow this product to remain on the market?

shouldn't this be on the bsc board?

Why so silent, DWAS?

Obvious. The odor gave you away

this is crazy. How many lawsuits can one company have.

What does this mean?

The DWASholes have 4 da Vinci scam threads on the site and they add up to over one thousand replies. Please go away.

Go to the Intuitive board here. The training program is discussed at length.

Educated and read what is on the FDA's main page on any MDR report:

"Although MDRs are a valuable source of information, this passive surveillance system has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data. In addition, the incidence or prevalence of an event cannot be determined from this reporting system alone due to potential under-reporting of events and lack of information about frequency of device use. Because of this, MDRs…

I thought she took a break from new stories on her site?

We had a record-breaking number of cases performed last quarter with the da Vinci. We do this for the patients!

Stryker's were recalled and they are potentially on the hook for over a billion in settlement payments.

Good for her, well deserved for what she had to go through.

Of course they knew they always know but they don't care. In fact they rather enjoy it...

More cases were settled from Boston Scientific.

Such a cool picture. Can't stand how cool you people are posting on our boards.
