often find their innards are sinking as they age. The worst sign of this is a bladder that leaks all the time and gushes when they sneeze or laugh. The cure has been a bladder sling of various descriptions, sometimes using the patient's own innards, tightened up, and sometimes using medical implants.

Those implants might be tolerated poorly by some patients, causing pain and necessitating surgical revision with the removal of the mesh.

The advantage to using mesh in the first place is that it offers superior support and an easier surgery with only a small incision, meaning rapid patient recovery.

Women who join this suit had better hope the doc didn't list the potential complications on the consent form. If he did, she agreed to take on the risk.

A lot of these electronic ambulance chasers are just hoping a doc was sloppy when he obtained surgical permission or when he prescribed any new drug.

Yes, complications happen, but an informed patient is assumed to have made a choice to take the risk in the hope of having an improved life.
