        If NHShospitals monitored Longterm Patient Outcomes better, then budget overruns from poor Treatments/Products would be reduced. High nos of patients return with Failed treatments &/or new Issues. Patients want an Exit Door not a Revolving Door #Iatrogenic illness #Mesh #RCOG2019pic.twitter.com/QhNI8pFLtm

        But we are. We are being maimed and poisoned with dangerous medical devices aggressively marketed for #Bigpharma profit. #Polypropylene #mesh has already killed thousands. When will you help us in our desperate fight against this? @susancelia @NaomiAKlein @womensmarch
