        #SlingTheMesh has 1 in 12 members suffering from #hernia mesh pain & complications The rest are suffering from women's pelvic mesh ops. Same plastic material causing the same devastating problems & the same denial from surgeons that "it's not the mesh"

        Poor reporting by @bbchealth has given no evidence that mesh repairs are worse than non mesh hernia repairs. Or explained the grave issues with bowel obstruction for people who opt to leave them alone. No one has been trained to do a non mesh repair for 20 years now.

        As for Drs - I give up. They make patients feel like such an inconvenience. So many ppl have completely lost faith...
