ALL MESHED UP! MEDICINE AND LAW SERVE CORPORATIONS, DOCTORS AND ATTORNEYS. PATIENT BE DAMNED!

In our Meshed Up World, the total insanity of implanting polypropylene into humans is ignored.

You're harmed by synthetic mesh? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

You filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, American Medical Systems, C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific, Caldera Medical, Cook Medical, Coloplast with the expectation of being compensated for your harm?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

You signed a contract with an attorney to represent your rights and your interest against one of the companies?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Very, very sadly, the joke is on us.

Patient be damned. :(

You know what, I guess I will just continue calling on

the House Judiciary Committee and

the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee and

the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Let's see who's laughing at 

the end of the legislative session.

DEAR MESH INJURED PATIENTS, BOTH PELVIC AND HERNIA,

I am, and have been, working in D.C. to expose the fraud and corruption at the FDA to get ALL MESH off the market through the House Government and Oversight and Reform Committee since I arrived in the D.C. area at the end of March. 

I am working with the House Judiciary Committee on their Bill, HR985“Fairness in Class Action Litigation & Furthering Asbestos Transparency Act of 2017” to get the Senate to take up their version of HR 985 to bust the corruption and fraud in the MDL's. There is language being added for transparency in the settlements in pelvic mesh litigation and other benefits to the mesh injured. Our goal is to rename it the “Fairness in Class Action Litigation & Furthering Asbestos, Pelvic Mesh and Hernia Mesh Claim Transparency Act of 2017” No one is protected by these lawsuits except for the pocketbooks of attorneys who are already extremely wealthy. Now Jane Akre is going to tell you this is bad because she makes a living from attorneys. No your civil rights will not be lost and there will not be an end to mass torts.

Your rights are CURRENTLY BEING VIOLATED in the Multidistrict Litigation in West Virginia.

Hard to explain my strategy in Congress. Guess it's like a salesman who keeps calling on a customer to get them to buy a product. Except I want the Senate and the House of Representatives to take action which will lead to taking mesh off the market. Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, American Medical Systems and C.R. Bard all have millions and millions to pay lobbyists to go to Congress to keep their products on the market. Since I don't have millions, I use my knowledge and experience from being a medical device expert and legal consultant to present irrefutable facts to our elected representatives of the harm caused by mesh to get them to take real action to remove it from the market.

HR985 will never be signed into law as it is currently written. The Senate will pass it's version and it will go back to the House. And so on and so on like any bill going through the legislative process.

Elizabeth Burch who writes in opposition to the bill wrote a 64 page doc in 2014 "Judging Multidistrict Litigation" explaining how a handful of Attorneys "Repeat Entrenched Players" and "Repeat Entrenched Law Firms" have controlled ALL the MDL's for years now. I know those guys personally and they are cheating the hell out of you guys just like they cheated me. In fact Jane Akre works for some of them. I have worked within the MDL system for 7 years now hoping to influence plaintiff's attorneys. The MDL's are ugly for the injured plaintiffs. Just as ugly as the FDA. Just as ugly as mesh companies. A handful of attorneys in the U.S. make literally billions of dollars while hundreds of thousands suffer the consequences of the injuries from the corrupt manufacturer's products.

Support the legislation. Take charge of your own destiny. Stop the rampant hidden fraud and corruption in the legal system. Always find out who is behind the articles against the legislation that you read before you decide to accept it as fact. It is very complex. Look at the mission statements of the group's and their websites and their actions over a long period of time. Be your own judge!

SURGICAL #MESH STILL ON THE MARKET! WHY? FAILURE TO FULLY PROSECUTE WITH AVAILABLE LEVEL 1 EVIDENCE OF THE FAILURES OF #MESH! CORRUPTION AT ALL LEVELS BY @ETHICON @JNJCARE @JNJNEWS IN MDL 02327 IN WEST VIRGINIA

1.       Plaintiff Attorneys used an anemic trial strategy despite significant scientific expert evidence and knowledge to the contrary. Ambiguity remains. Hundreds of thousands of women are at risk from unsafe surgical procedures using synthetic surgical mesh in the female pelvis and reproductive system that cause serious permanent disabling injuries.

2.       Plaintiff Attorneys did not integrate all the causes of the harm from transvaginal mesh procedures in their strategy. The procedure, synthetic surgical mesh and trocar combined in the female pelvis and reproductive system are catastrophic along with comorbidities, age, concomitant procedures, again catastrophic.

3.       The DUMBED DOWN Trial Strategy used was a limited concept of pore size which is difficult to prove and does not integrate the myriad physical and chemical properties of polypropylene synthetic surgical mesh and wound healing, critical to the understanding of mesh injury. Most important physical property: the polypropylene synthetic surgical mesh shrinks itself due to inherent manufacturing defects.

Synthetic Surgical Mesh remains on the market. Why?

1.       Plaintiff Attorneys,

2.       the American Urogynecological Society (AUGS)

3.       the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology         (ACOG)

4.       Doctors such as Dr. John Miklos and Dr. G. Willy Davila

5.       Hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic

6.       the United States Food and Drug Administration’s   Center for Devices and Radiological Health (FDA’s CDRH)

7.       the director of the CDRH, Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, and David Krause, and other top officials at the FDA and

8.       Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon

Kept mesh on the market by a series of events.

The events listed below culminated in plaintiff’s attorneys proving abdominal sacral colpopexy was a better, safer alternative procedure to Pleivc Organ Prolapse repair through the vagina in bellwether trials in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. IT IS NOT SAFER!

January 2012: The FDA’s CDRH issues 522 orders to 33 companies for 99 products they must begin clinical trials testing their synthetic surgical mesh products for safety and efficacy.

April 2012: Dr. John Miklos and Dr. Robert Moore hold doctor conference in Atlanta. 

April 12, 2012 Mass Torts Made Perfect Panel         

Abdominal Sacral Colpopexy recommended

Pelvic Mesh: How to Represent the Victims

Robert Price, Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Rafferty & Proctor

Amy Eskin, Hersh & Hersh

Lana Keeton, Truth in Medicine

April 27, 2012 Lana Keeton sends letter to all Plaintiff’s Attorneys in the MultiDistrict Litigation warning of the significant dangers of Abdominal Sacral Colpopexy including clinical trials

May 2012 Johnson and Johnson’s Ethicon will stop selling 5 of their transvaginal mesh products. Only the TVT Secur was removed and the rest of the TVT bladder sling meshes remained on the market.

GYNECARE ProliftTM Pelvic Floor Repair System

GYNECARE Prolift +MTM Pelvic Floor Repair System

GYNECARE ProsimaTM Pelvic Floor Repair System

GYNECARE GYNEMESH MTM Partially Absorbable Mesh

GYNECARE TVT SecurTM System (not all TVT products)

Ethicon also notified FDA's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics of their intention to make a labeling change to the Indication for Use for GYNECARE GYNEMESH PS Nonabsorbable PROLENE Soft Mesh indicating it for abdominal (open or laparoscopic) use only.

(ABDOMINAL SACRAL COLPOPEXY!)

With approval of the labeling change by the FDA, the 522 orders for their products were placed on hold and eventually  terminated since the orders were applicable to vaginally placed POP mesh products only. Sales continued in the US and globally under the then current indication until regulatory approval of the labeling change was obtained in each country.

June 2012: Johnson and Johnson’s Ethicon send letter to Judge Joseph Goodwin they are removing 5 products from market

September 2012: The applied for approval of label changes for indication for use to Abdominal Sacral Colpopexy was eventually signed by Dr. Ben Fisher at the FDA’s CDRH

This Very neat package NEVER publicized Kept Mesh on the Market for use in the Female Pelvis and Reproductive System. This, in my opinion, is a crime against women. It PRESERVES:

a.       Use of mesh for abdominal sacral colpopexy by doctors

b.      The mesh profits for Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon         Gynemesh

c.        Injury to hundreds of thousands of women patients

There is NO LEVEL ONE (1) EVIDENCE of success

of abdominal sacral colpopexy despite decades of use.

COLLUSION OR COINCIDENCE?

LANA KEETON, WEEK TWO ON CAPITOL HILL!

Great meeting yesterday at Judicial Watch with a lead investigative counsel on the issue of fraud and corruption at the FDA/CDRH. He gave me direction and I will be meeting with him again very soon. He was an amazing source of information and I am very grateful to him for the 2 hours he spent with me. I want to expose the fraud in clearing mesh at the FDA.CDRH in hopes President Trump will look at it and make HUUUGGGEE CHANGES THERE! PRAY!!

LANA KEETON, A DAY ON CAPITOL HILL MARCH 22, 2017

A DAY ON CAPITOL HILL....

Yesterday I met with the House Judiciary Committee, headed by Representative Bob Goodlatte, who is currently seeking information from RELION, a lead generator for Plaintiff Attorneys for Mass Torts. Having worked with Mass Tort Plaintiffs Attorneys as a Legal Consultant, Medical Device Expert and having been a Patient Advocate through the patient advocacy organization I founded, Truth in Medicine since 2007, I have very valuable input to the House Judiciary Committee to protect Mesh Injured Patient Plaintiffs.

I also met with the House Oversight and Government Reform headed by Representative Jason Chaffetz and had the good fortune to actually meet and introduce myself to Representative Chaffetz. It was quite an honor.

MESH INJURED PATIENTS ARE FIRST INJURED BY SYNTHETIC SURGICAL MESH, POLYPROPYLENE, AND A MYRIAD OF OTHERS.....

THEN THEY ARE FURTHER INJURED BY THE COURT SYSTEM,  A TRAVESTY BEYOND WORDS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST NOT ONLY THEIR HEALTH, BUT THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR HOMES, THEIR JOBS, THEIR INCOME AND THE RESPECT AND DIGNITY NORMALLY AFFORDED US.

THE SYSTEM WINS!

TIME FOR THIS TO STOP. TIME FOR LEGISLATORS TO PROTECT US FROM THE MEDICAL HARMCARE SYSTEM DESTROYING SO MANY LIVES!

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT V. WOMEN: FUNDING AND FEEDING THE UNIVERSITIES WITH YOUR PELVIS! by LANA C. KEETON written on MAY 21, 2013

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT VS. WOMEN:

FUNDING AND FEEDING THE UNIVERSITIES WITH YOUR PELVIS!

By LANA C. KEETON - MAY 21, 2013

            Women are being maimed and tortured every single day because the federal government is feeding and funding the universities with our beautiful, precious bodies.

For almost 12 years now, I believed I was horribly injured because of corporate greed and the evil humans who ran them. The revelation I had today belongs in the headlines along with the IRS scandal, the DOJ attack on our 1^st amendment rights at the AP and the State Department failings in Benghazi that killed 4 brave Americans serving their country in Libya.

The ultimate betrayal: the government that is supposed to protect you is preying on you.

            The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Center for Devices and Radiologic Health (CDRH) The Pelvic Floor Disorders Network (PFDN), created and funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and its Gynecologic Health and Disease Branch (GHDB) work together to keep a steady flow of humans moving through the healthcare system by funding clinical trials at universities and hospitals (with your hard earned tax dollars). And, of course, device and drug companies are their willing accomplices.

God forbid you should be healthy. They would all be out of their jobs. They do not want you to be well. (We’re in trouble.)  

WHERE IS THE FUNDING FOR THE PATIENT HARM CAUSED BY GOVERNMENT HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION?

            It does not exist. Walk out of a hospital harmed by the “healthcare” provided and you are on your own. Sorry. You are not only permanently injured and out of a job, you are out of a life. There is no cavalry coming to the rescue.

            It’s not the lack of health insurance that hobbles Americans harmed by the system. It is the physical harm itself that ruins lives. Healthy people can work, support their families, care for themselves and participate in society.

            You are the by-product of a system run amuck. Government makes the laws which protect the doctors, hospitals, corporations and health insurance companies. What they do not protect is YOU, the patient.

So now look at this.

                  Pelvic Organ Prolapse

            Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when pelvic muscles and tissues can no longer support one or more of the pelvic organs, causing them to protrude or bulge through the vaginal canal. This protrusion may be uncomfortable, making physical activity difficult and interfering with sexual activity.

            Recent research suggests that 3.3 million women in the United States have had pelvic organ prolapse. Because of a possible association with aging, this number is expected to rise to 4.9 million by 2050. This increase highlights a public health        need for safe and effective treatments for pelvic organ prolapse. NICHD-     supported research on surgical approaches aims to better understand the long- term risks and benefits of these treatments for the condition.

            What will it matter? When these trials are done the women will all be dead.

            Pelvic organ prolapse is a key area of study for the NICHD-supported  Pelvic Floor Disorders Network (PFDN), supported through the NICHD’s Gynecological Health and Disease Branch (GHDB), within the Division of Extramural Research. Through its eight clinical centers and a Data Coordinating Center, the PFDN carries out important studies to help advance clinical care and improve our understanding of pelvic organ prolapse and other        PFDs, including their causes, their mechanisms, their treatments, and ways to possibly prevent them. Since the Network launched in 2001, more than 200 doctors, nurses, and researchers have joined with more than 4,000 women in    studies on PFDs. This ongoing partnership between researchers and patients is     critical to the PFDN’s success.

IS THIS SEXUAL ABUSE OF, AND SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST, WOMEN? Not exactly sure but it certainly seems like it to me.

For me personally, I have an answer to a question I have been asking myself for almost 12 years.
How could any surgeon EVER violate a woman’s pelvis with trocars that look like meat hooks and then insert synthetic surgical mesh, a petroleum waste byproduct, through the most private, precious, life-giving part of a woman’s body?

Answer: Group think, crowd mentality, compliments of your government funded clinical trials at prominent hospitals and universities. They have to feed the system or they are all out of a job.

So each and every one of us mesh injured patients no longer has a life, at least not the beautiful one we had before a surgeon implanted the evil that is mesh.

GHDB…..Does that stand for GOD HELP the DAMN BASTARDS? Cause for sure they are all going to hell.

ATRIUM C-QUR HERNIA MESH LAWSUITS: THE LATEST MESH MADNESS IN MULTI-DISTRICT LITIGATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

IGNORE ALL THE LATEST ATRIUM C-QUR AND ETHICON PHYSIOMESH HERNIA MESH ATTORNEY ADS!

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO USE THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF MESH INJURED PATIENTS TO PUT $$ MILLIONS, IF NOT $$BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE ATTORNEYS POCKETS!

MULTI DISTRICT LITIGATION and MASS TORTS are an attorney's dream. It may take millions of dollars to prosecute but with thousands and thousands of injured plaintiffs in the pools, the Return on Investment is spectacular.

Defense Attorneys have boiler plate defenses they have honed over the years. They fight tooth and nail and DON'T PAY until the absolute end of the presiding judge's patience.

CONFIDENTIALITY REIGNS!

No INJURED PLAINTIFF will ever know what happens as the years drag by, their medical needs grow, they lose their jobs, their homes, their families, their friends. They lose EVERYTHING!

JUST ASK THE WOMEN IN THE TRANSVAGINAL MESH LITIGATION, OVER 100,000 WOMEN.

HORRIBLY, PERMANENTLY INJURED WOMEN WERE PAID AN AVERAGE OF $40,000.00. AFTER SUBROGATED MEDICAL EXPENSES, 40% + 5% ATTORNEY FEES, MAYBE THEY GET $5-10,000.00.

THE ATTORNEYS...THE PLAINTIFF'S STEERING COMMITTEE...A VERY SMALL GROUP OF LAW FIRMS?

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS.

WHO IS SPENDING THOSE MILLIONS?

ASK THE PLAINTIFF'S STEERING COMMITTEE WHO FOLLOW THE PHILOSOPHY "DON'T KILL THE COMPANY!"

THEY KEEP THE COMPANIES ALIVE TO MAKE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MORE ATTORNEY FEES, WHILE DRAGGING THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS MORE INJURED PATIENTS THROUGH AN UNCARING COURT SYSTEM.

So the giant money making MULTI DISTRICT LITIGATION MACHINE grinds on, protecting the profits of the companies, the jobs of the doctors and the multimillion dollar incomes of ALL the attorneys, plaintiff and defense alike.

MASS TORTS ARE NOT MADE PERFECT FOR THE INJURED PLAINTIFFS!
