Monica:

See if you can locate the article LizaJane mentioned on the Medicare claims and various implants. That is not long and he might pay attention to that. I am in a hurry to leave for an appointment and don't have time to find it, but it is posted here somewhere...

Dr. Patten's article is good, but pretty long, so I don't know if he would take the time to read that. Also, in the medical community, they don't like to see reports like this, they want to see studies... Unfortunately, we are the study, but it is epidemiological... No one has figured that out yet or cares to... Dumb...

The only reports that the medical community pays attention to seem to be things like the people in Arizona who got sick from rats and the Hanta Virus... Boy, the CDC jumped all over that one... Why they will pay attention to that and not 400,000 reports of implant problems to the FDA, is beyond me... Not to take away from their problems, because Hanta Virus is serious, but then, so are ours...

An Army Cardiologist in El Paso, some years back, was in court sueing her implant manufacturer over implant related disease. She lost her case... Why??? Because, they felt as a doctor she should have known better...

Sue:
I read somewhere that the radiation exposure that some of us had as children in their doctor's office, not only exposed them to the possibility of thyroid and head and neck cancer, but it also exposed unknowing people sitting out in the waiting rooms...
