Many complications related to hernia repair with surgical mesh that have been reported to the FDA have been associated with recalled mesh products that are no longer on the market. Pain, infection, recurrence, adhesion, obstruction, and perforation are the most common complications associated with recalled mesh. In the FDA’s analysis of medical adverse event reports to the FDA, recalled mesh products were the main cause of bowel perforation and obstruction complications.
I did not say the FDA outlaws it...I said they poo-poo it, meaning they have made so many to be recalled, that they discourage using the mesh
I think you got confused about your own argument.
I said my husband got a non mesh hernia repair a decade ago and you said 'now they poo poo them'. I gave you a link from FDA that shows that they do not "poo poo" non mesh repairs and now you seem to be saying that they recall mesh in order to discourage mesh repairs.
So - are you claiming the FDA discourages or encourages mesh hernia repair since you have now claimed that they have done both.
It's hernia surgery not an organ transplant get over it.
Again, one more time, in hopes you care about the truth.
It's about doing it as well as Shouldice Hernia Hospital. I get it. You aren't doing so well so you're jealous that someone like Rand Paul who has studied and worked hard to make something of himself is succeeding AND PAYING HIS OWN WAY.
Get over the twisted agenda and deflection. Start looking for the truth.
Again, one more time in hopes that you care about the truth. Rand Paul isn't using the Congressional benefit. After Obamacare passed Congress critters still received some of the employee healthcare benefits. Rand is on Obamacare. He is paying for that healthcare.

Mesh repair isn't the way to go since it has resulted in too many recalls. Non mesh is the smart move. Get it yet or do you want to continue to deflect from the truth? Rand Paul choose to go a safer route.
The funny part is you thinking a surgery from 10 years ago is using the same technology and information as today. lol How silly to compare the 2.
Don't bother. You are wasting your time. Paul condemns the very system he uses whether or not he does in this particular situation. Some of my Libertarian friends were arguing this point and when I pointed this out, the conversation stopped.
