The way the recall was written, Medtronic was only obligated to pull all the devices off the shelves..............the ones that were left after sending all they could to third world countries......and not to recall the ones that were already inplanted. There was no LEGAL expectation that they would notify patients who were walking around with these bombs in their bodies. I don't know how a class action suit will play out. I think the FDA is responsible for not delivering a strong enough recall. It's no big surprise that the govt and big pharma are strange bedfellows. Hang in there Chris. You sure have had more than your share of bad luck.
