*That OPOSSUM warning was about as helpful for warning audience members as the FDA was for warning patients.*
I think that was part of the point
That opossum warning really put me in a false sense of security cos I was like “ok when he does the warning I’ll just look away” but NOPE, no warning, and now i won’t be able to eat cheese for a while
@@usainvanrudisha1649 I eat nothing but cheese, and still do. You have a weak ass stomach man
@@callmeswivelhips8229 mhm. Good 4 u. I managed to look away. So cheese is still real cheese to me. Best one ever I tasted was in a farm in France, they had a nice cave to make it.

My mother had vaginal mesh implanted in her. We went to dozens of hospitals to look for answers. They gave her oxycotin to deal with the pain and she died when I was 11 leaving behind four children. She had lots of surgerys to look for the reason for the pain, during one of them the surgeon left a cue tip inside of her (found in her autopsy). We couldn't sue because she had to many surgerys to be able to pin point which one caised the damage.
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone talk about vaginal mesh beyond the lawsuit commercials. Thanks for the reporting it means alot.
I am sorry. You might want to join Medical Error Transparency Plan or Patient Safety Action Network. These stories are too common and sad. I am sorry.
@Sharon Jensen I am about to get my first Mirena IUD out, because it is time for my replacement after having it in for over 5 years. I understand that there are some very risky procedures out there, but the statistics for Mirena complications show that it's a rare occurrence for a mis-insertion or the device piercing the uterine lining, and even if it does, it is reported to feel like mild bladder cramps with a simple removal operation. I just felt the need to say this, because I can't imagine living without this device. I absolutely cannot have children, as I have multiple genetic disorders that I am unwilling to pass along. The Mirena IUD is more effective at preventing pregnancy than taking both the pill and using a condom at the same time. I had an estrogen imbalance, causing crazy periods, terrible hormonal acne, dramatic mood swings, etc. Which has since been corrected by the IUD. My multiple illnesses were greatly exacerbated during my periods, and accentuated the pain to an overwhelming level. The Pill is also not an option, as it delivers approximately 90% more hormones to the body, and disperses it all over, rather than concentrating on the uterine area as the Mirena device does. I have not had a period in four years. Before, I would leave puddles of blood on my bed every night during my period, I would have to skip school and/or work because of the pain, and a tampon + a super thick pad wouldn't even be enough to hold the flow. My only side effects were a week of bladder cramps (far less severe than my periods) and a full month of very spotty bleeding, and then for the rest of that year I had a spotty period every several months, until it disappeared completely. The FDA is shitty, but that device has been thoroughly studied and is an absolute necessity for so many women. ***An absolute necessity.*** If you want to critique an IUD, let's talk about the copper one. Because THAT makes all your period symptoms far more severe, causes bladder cramps that last for the duration of possessing the device, oh, and did I mention waterfalls of blood?
That's horrific.
This may not have been the manufacturer's fault. A counterfeiter may have produced that product from a screen from a hardware store, sprayed plastic over it, put it in a package, and sold it on eBay to hospital purchasing agents trying to save a dime.

People in the EU don't even complain about regulations. We generally assume that they exist for good reasons and the US proves us right every time.

That is actually the only way to get rid of the bad apples while keeping innovation alive. FDA has to be strict on pms
@@tony232cool Or have an independent body actually fund the tests to make sure a product is safe instead of waiting til thousands of people die who have no idea they're being guinea pigs for a new untested product.
@@userasdf That's the principle in the EU: Things (food, medical devices, whatever) may only be put on the market when it is intensively proved they are not harmful and every possible risk is eliminated or very little. In the US things are put on the market, although there could be many known risks, and only taken off again when these possible risks and critical incidents start to occur very much (speculating that the possible risks could not occur at all and then money for testing would have been "waisted"). I'm not claiming that there wouldn't be scandals in the EU, as well, of course there are, but this is a fundamental difference and the major reason while European people fought against TTIP, being afraid that American companies would sue European governments before international arbitration courts, founded by TTIP, for limiting their profit (considered as "demage") because of the intensive tests European law makes necessary.

wow, this main report really hit home for me.
i had a hip replacement 10 years ago just when they were hyping metal on metal socketed implants. at the time i specifically asked my surgeon about them, and he explained at my age having an implant with a plastic liner was better because it had a bit more "give" - that body joints are not meant to have the precision of machine parts, and how plastic mimicked the cartilage and fluid layer evolution designed into our joints naturally. what was shocking to me now in retrospect is; at the time all the online hype had been manipulated to favor metal on metal, so clearly that company was paying someone to do a social media managed campaign.
one of the arguments they used was metal on metal would last longer because there was no plastic liner to wear out - again my surgeon talked me down by pointing out two things; i was not a very active person nor had plans to become one, thus the plastic liner wearing out prematurely would be less likely, and second that plastic liners were a known commodity (with materials used improving over the years) that had been applied over the past 30 years, so it would be better that i had another hip replacement 30 years from now (it's a far less invasive procedure with faster recovery time - than it was a few decades ago), then take a chance on a new metal on metal design with no long term track record.
yeah, i know... boy was i lucky i had this surgeon at that hospital, instead of some hack who made his fortune in medical device kick backs. i was long aware of the fda cleared versus approved distinction, because since college i had known to avoid penny stocks that had "invented" and marketing fda cleared gimmicks and ignore late night cabletv commercials advocating fda cleared well-being and exercise devices, many that were based on fda approved inventions from over 50 years ago. however it truly never had even occurred to me that any such products were also being used internally.
Hearing metal on metal should've given it away tbh.
Had a gyno push me into using an IUD, had pain from the moment it was implanted and my gyno just kept telling me it would go away as I got used to it. 2 years later had a new urogyno who gladly removed it and found it was implanted without showing so in imaging.
He told me he denies implanting all IUDs and removes 5-10 a month surgically. When I told him the pressure put on me to use it, he got my old gynos license pulled.
My IUD was simply pulled out, I couldn't imagine it being implanted so deep to need surgery with the amount of pain mine caused.
Amen! IUD's often cause SO many complications including just pain, and it's for sure more common than acknowledged by the industry. there is a reddit threat with thousands of comments about it. Some women have had PTSD from their IUD, from the pain of just the insertion and they actually had to go to therapy for it! Gynos keep pressuring women to get IUD's too and people talk about that in the reddit thread too. It's so unethical! We shouldn't be pressured! And we should be real about the complications! Clearly doctors aren't informed enough about devices as this video shows. And some doctors don't like IUDs because they say they remove more than they insert. www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/kfakaa/we_need_to_quit_acting_like_iuds_and_birth/

I think I’d be wary of any ‘questionnaire’ where a representative from the company (nurse or otherwise) is standing over me telling me how to answer the questions. I mean, a question about the comfort of the device should obviously not be answered ‘Excellent’ if you’re in pain.
I’d be doubly concerned about any form where the scale goes, in order, “excellent, good, fair, VERY GOOD, ...”
One guy called my country a nanny state. We do have a heavy government but holy fuck at least we regulate what companies can and can not do.
Remember American friends, When something you guys have can't be import in to EU, there is usually a reason for that.
I am German and from what I know we have the most traffic laws of any country on earth. We have complicated laws and regulations for everything! Sometimes it's seriously ridiculous!
But almost all of them make sense in most cases and you can understand why they exist. Whenever I take one look at the USA, I know that rampant capitalism is a horrible idea and regulations are important. Do I sometimes complain about specific regulations because they are a bit overblown, aged or needlessly complicated? Sure! But do I want us to be unregulated like the USA? Fuck No!
Somtimes I wonder how people can survive all the political corruption, greedy business practices and failing social structure (health care, university, pension). How is the US still standing?

A quick reminder that while people are being told to complain about "big government," businesses would effectively do nothing to make sure you survive their products. Not without federal or other regulations slowing their sales. Patients being their own advocates is a scenario that's desperate and naive.
It's naive, but SO necessary!!!
The smarter companies would make sure you die slowly enough for them to get as much money from you as possible.

Weren't you paying attention? Because "Bye bye"
This is John Oliver. The pillows would be soft because they're filled with asbestos.

Metal rods saved my life when I had them implanted on my spine when I was 12. First, the surgery very nearly killed me. Second, the rods detached from my spine a year and a half later and poked through my back, and I had to have part of each rod removed. Lastly, in large part because of these complications, I've had debilitating chronic back pain every day since I was 16...coming up on 20 years now. I'm still alive, but my life is DEFINITELY not worth everything I've been through. Think long and hard (if you can) before getting implants. I can't have my rods removed now because the bone of my spine has grown around what remains fused to my spine. If you can survive and have a decent life without the implant, don't get it. If you can't, do tons of research before getting it implanted. Be safe.
And again I am more than happy that I live in Germany. When I triple-broke my ankle at a working accident, I got titan screws in it. Well, walking with those screws in my ankle with my tendons rubbing over the top of those sometimes hurt, but I got them out after the prescribed 12 month. It healed good and I still have those screws to remind me that working safe is more important than working fast. (I didn't had to pay for any of this because here it's reqiured by law that you have a health insurance.)

Knowing the distinction between FDA approved/cleared matters is definitely one of those things you'd never guess without someone telling you.

Wait. Aren't InfoWars and a mole person screaming at you in a subway tunnel the same thing?

NO. Infowars is clearly not in a subway.
"And the /only/ thing you should ever learn from Facebook is: which of your friends has the ugliest baby."
This might be my favorite (and truest) line from quite possibly my favorite show of all -time. At LEAST the best show currently airing.
"The Bleeding Edge", is a great documentary on Netflix about medical devices.
Mr. Oliver thank you so much for breaking the silence on the botched Medical Device industry horrors. There are massive coverups and harassment programs that involve courts and police to keep this knowledge from the public. Many employees are under extra legal harassment, threats of litigation and criminal persecution for trying to protect patients. For example, those hip replacements by Depuy Synthes J&J, a client of a very shady consulting company, British Cambridge Consultants(snapped up by French Altran after former parent's Arthur D Little exec's got caught embezzling in the Enron era). Ongoing problems with titanium hips it are being covered up by the corrupt Boston courts and police who interfered with court hearings to protect Cambridge Consultants executives from having to perjure themselves in court. While railroading whistleblowers who spoke out about safety issues and were systematically retaliated by managers, then HR, then courts, then cops. There are serious questions about Depuys titanium hip implant strain sensor biocompatibility and efficacy that engineers were too frightened to speak about. Insulins injector studies compromised? Following this, Medrobotics fired a former CC engineer who forced them to invest in years of development to ensure patient safety over quick bucks for a throat-snake robot. (CC relayed threats to sue Medrobotics for "poaching" if this former CC engineer does not stop speaking about toxic CC retaliatory culture).
Citizens Arrest for David Bradshaw, general manager of Cambridge Consultants for perjury and conspiracy to obstruct justice! Bradshaws lie, patients die. If these Boston courts covered up Vatican's crimes against the most vulnerable, what's a few abused engineers? We swear an oath to protect public safety and wear an Iron Ring made from a collapsed bridge's girders as a reminder. On ides of March in 2018 a bridge collapsed in Florida just as they were railroading engineers in Boston. Frightened calls from project engineers warning of structural problems were briefly played on the news. And yes, when Boeng turned into a money factory, some bright exec thought an if statement can correct a stalling 737. How many whistleblowers did Boeng supress? Unite to Fight the corporate blight. Democracy in the Workplace, NOW!

Thank you for breaking the silence Mr Oliver. Keep speaking truth to power, cause they won't let us.
It was, all three highlighted devices, hips, mesh, IUD were covered in it verbatim. They must have been out of ideas..
Last week tonight getting lazy....
I went right to netflix and watched the "The Bleeding Edge" documentary just because of the clip they show, A great watch thats for sure.
royal kweenie I few like they just made a summary of the documentary... I think they got lazy with this one
There’s a Netflix documentary called “The Bleeding Edge” about this. This show actually used clips from the documentary
Everyone should go watch this. As bad as this video makes the issue seem, it's still only scratching the surface.
I assumed it was based on that, a few minutes in and a couple of things seem familiar.
I knew I've heard about it bevore. There was supridingly little new.
David Looser it seemed like the introduction had more new content than the rest of the episode.
Lucky for those who have Netflix and sense to watch documentaries otherwise the rest can rely on RUclips and John Oliver's show to shed light on some of this issues. I am not surprised by any of the information since the system is functioning as it is intended and the masses will just watch and accept this in defeat
This reminds me of when I was getting the nexplanon implant. I asked my doctor "Is it true that this implant can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy?" and her only reply was "Don't worry, you won't get pregnant."
Working as a Firefighter/Paramedic I have been on numerous medical calls from medical devices causing problems like blood clots, stroke and cardiac arrest, something needs to change.
This is like a recap of the Netflix documentary 'The Bleeding Edge.' This lax approval process is absolutely crazy .
Right.
E H your dog is so cute
Came here to say this. I felt like I already saw this episode. Only the Opossums were new :)
I appreciate the parallels in warning us about yucky stuff ex post facto

I had a Depuy knee replacement done after surgery to remove cancer in my bone in 2017. 10 years later, the rod broke in half while I was walking. No one would take my case BC it wasn't part of a larger lawsuit case for cement issues or malpractice by physicians. I almost lost my leg, and will have to amputate when this replacement fatigues which doctors expect to be in 20 years. So I will be learning how to get around as an amputee at 50. Fun...
I'd gotten essure done about ten years ago. It was wonderful, and I was beyond thrilled. My super heavy and long periods were suddenly significantly lighter to the point of being negligible and way shorter. Around seven years later, all of a sudden, I was getting sharp pains in my abdomen, and my periods started getting heavy again, but at least they didn't last much longer. I started google searching to see what could be wrong (ugh, I know, terrible idea), and found a Facebook group about all the problems with Essure. I had no idea that it had been recalled, and assumed that it was a fake, overly sensational group. But, I kept reading what other women were saying. Almost all of them were expressing the same symptoms I had, and they'd gotten it around the same time I had. Some had even gotten pregnant while still having the device in them! I haven't had any other issues (that I know of), but I often wonder what could be wrong that I don't know about, and am slightly appalled that I had to find out via a Facebook group.
"You think they'd come into a post Game of Thrones HBO? They're MomZ in Da Hood, they've got better places to be!"
That was a Savage Burn, Ser. There are Cleganes would kill for burns half so savage as that.
You dirty Zazu! I was really ready for mom's in da hood! Not cool. Lol
I know right, I was excited: and then, I wasn't.
YES! That is exactly how I thought he was gonna wrap the segment. But Jane Krakowski is awesome at everything, so ok.
DePuy's hips actually do lie.
This feels like a summary of the documentary “the bleeding edge”
Which is an excellent documentary that everyone should watch. I’m glad Oliver is bringing more attention to these issues
I needed an opossum for the cat 🤣🙈🤣
O-puss-um.

I concur. Too far, John ! Too far!!!
If it’s not approved for sale in the EU, don’t use it!
@tacodias: good rule of thumb. The approval process in the EU used to be different from the US. The thinking behind a '510k' clause is typical American. Let the companies settle with the consumer later if something went wrong. In the EU, the authorities wanted to prevent harm coming to the consumer in the first place, in the US private entities sue each other instead and this process is a substitute for government oversight. Unfortunately, the EU shifted to the US model in recent decades.

A Dutch television programm got an orange net approved as a vaginal mesh. So in this case I do not think the EU does a better job in protecting patients..
HBO: So game of thrones is over and we’ve got all this money, what do we do?
John Oliver: *Momz in da hood double studio album intensifies*
Information is Everything. Take away from this video:
Patients have to be their own advocates
Three important questions you must ask...
1.) Is there an alternative?
2.) Can the device be removed if something goes wrong?
3.) How long has the device been on the market?
thanks John and team.
Don't forget, "Is the device FDA Approved?"
Seems like the best way to gauge whether the device your are going to have is safe is to see if it is allowed in countries with more stringent controls on medical devices.
This.
When your system is SO bad, you might as well scrap it an use a foreign one until problems are sorted out.
The trouble is most countries look to the FDA for their initial guidance on device clearance/approval. Fortunately, most other civilized countries eventually pull their heads out of medical device maker's backsides and ban the sale and use of dangerous devices. Take pelvic mesh, which is being called the largest medical disaster in women's health since Thalidomide in the rest of the world. The AU has even issued an official apology to women for not protecting them. The FDA? All of the pelvic meshes are STILL on the market except for mesh placed vaginally for pelvic organ prolapse. That is the ONLY one of the meshes the FDA required companies to stop selling because there wasn't enough safety data to warrant it's continued use . . . nearly 18 years after it was brought to market.
I need John's level of confidence where he wastes HBO's money and then unapologetically makes jokes about the network while being on the network.
They have budget to spare after Game Of Thrones' revenue
@@LouisSubearth the opposite is true. AT&T stocks dropped after GOT ended. HBO has already lost many thousand subscriptions. They've predicted a loss of around 30% in that area.
Letterman did that too
Priyansi Singh He doesn’t waste any money, I assume it needs to be approved first. Besides, the revenue that the show makes clearly way overshadows their spending, which is why it’s been on air for this long.
Then you need to be British. They give zero shits.
"medical device industry, which is a huge business with a hugely troubling lack of regulation."
Let's just shorten that to "huge businesses lack regulation".
Terrible detail not covered? If there's bluetooth or wifi, it can be abused, hacked, hijacked by malicious actors.
"Smart" insulin pumps? More like accidental assassins' tools.
@wittyahole - And you don't think there's a middle ground there? If we're putting something inside a human being (assuming we value human life to some extent) not testing it at all like the devices in the video is probably not the answer. :P
When he said mesh being put in for vaginal tissue, I had crossed my legs already knowing from that statement alot that is a bad idea.
Theme of most John Oliver pieces: the love of money is the root of all evil.
Welcome to late stage capitalism
Not really.
Money are not "the root of all evil". Human ignorance is.
The bottom line is, people need to be aware and control things to ensure everything is ok. Believing in goodness of human nature is inspiring, but it works much better when coupled with the consideration of the risks involved.
The problem is a system that prioritizes capital and capital accumulation above anything else

When I was about to get my PowerPort Implanted it was so reassuring to have the doctor tell me that they can easily check the function of the device to make sure its working, and that they could quickly go in and remove the device should something bad happen. I’m thankful to have a doctor (me manages most of my care) that is really open and honest about how treatments work and talking through the risks and benefits.
I think the government should just establish an agency, call it Market Watch, and well, do exactly that: what John does right now. Analyze which industries aren't functioning properly and do segments on them every week.
Nah, the lobbying from all the shady industries are already too deep in the government. They'll never go for it and just ride it out until everyone forgets their mistakes
@nobodys_winds Damn, is the situation really so hopeless?
I'm not an American, admittedly, but I'm willing to vouch that, yes, the situation is THAT hopeless. It's not Brazil levels of corruption, and i could see the USA doing a 'Market Watch' like you suggested (albeit extremely non specific and filled with already public information), but in the end it's all about money, power, and control to these people.

i'm glad he recapped it, the more it gets out there, the more ppl will see it...lives will be saved. i may need a hip replacement . i cannot tell you how glad i am i watched this

I was seventeen and poor, and they didn't bother to tell me or my Mom the risks of the hernia mesh. It's more than a decade later and it's frankly more painful than the hernia on many days. I have no options now, because I can't afford corrective surgery and recovery downtime.
I watched this in tears because no one else talks about these things but hopefully it means someone else will have better access and awareness before consenting to a medical device surgery for themselves or their family.
I hope that the staff behind these segments know they're doing more important work than many "legitimate" news outlets that often gloss over or quickly move on to other stories when it means shining a light on the conglomerates that make billions from hurting and killing people without remorse.
As someone who has an Essure horror story, I was appalled by how much the issues had been buried. And because it couldn't be safely removed I was forced to have a complete hysterectomy before the age of 35. You would think that would help, but the metals from the device have caused chronic autoimmune issues that will be a problem for the rest of my life.

I was taught a saying by one of my pain management nurse: "If you are sick long enough, you become half a doctor." Unfortunately, that's true. I've had to do my own research and advocate for treatment *constantly* just to get a diagnostic test done. (Spoiler alert: they still can't answer my questions about the reason I suffer unending chronic pain.)
NEVER trust a doctor at their word, especially if they only present you with one option. The only way you're going to have progress in your health treatment is if you're doing everything to find your own options.
Or money. They'll bend into pretzels for you if there's money crossing their hands.
