Pip implants - who should foot the bill

Harley medical group should remove them all they fitted in my opinion and they can afford it :D

 

Hahaha. Well to give you an update, Harley medical group say the will go bust if they have to perform removal operations.

 

Yea. The tits are going to hit the fan on this one

 

Its all going tits up then.

No, we shouldn't be joking about a serious problem. We had similar problems in the 1960's when we used to do enlargements with recycled dunlop tyres.

Kept getting sued by the Pirelli Calender makers.

 

Haha...seriously though who should pay for this?? I say the surgeons then they should sue.

 

Well, inserting a more serious tone to this(!) it's like the man said on the news - if you bought a toaster and it proved to be faulty, who would you expect to remedy the situation? The man you bought it from. Who did these unfortunate women buy their implants from? The surgeon.

On another aspect, there are many people had metal on metal hip replacements which are proving to be poorly designed and causing considerable health problems for the patients. Who are they expecting to remedy their situation? The surgeons.

None of those surgeons are having the temerity to argue that they didn't know there was a problem (which they didn't) nor to hide behind the fact that the MRHA or FDA approved them (which they did). They put them in, they are sorting them out.

What's the diff?

 

Well said Daisees.
And not a single inuendo either....wait a minute "insert" a more serious tone

 

It's a tricky one though...It's tax payers money that is supposed to stop these things from happening, but in this case the regulatory bodies have failed, so is it right for a private company to pick up the bill

 

According to Womens' Hour, the French implants which are causing the problems were partly filled with stuff which was intended for mattresses! (Hope it wasn't memory foam - or is that spelt 'mammary' - they might take a while to spring back into shape.) Apparently some women went for this brand because it was cheap. You wonder what sort of person goes and has expensive and potentially dangerous surgery (all surgery carries a risk, after all) and then says 'I'll just have the economy boobs, please'. On the other hand, I don't much like the moralising tone which is creeping into the media debates. None of us is as nature intended, thank God. Even puritans have probably washed and trimmed their toenails recently. At least, one hopes. So all we are really arguing over is the degree of artifice which is acceptable.

I think the private clinics should foot the bill. They're not short of money. There's always another TOWIE girl who needs a bit of work. Did anyone catch the episode where Chloe considers having bottom implants? Too, too gross for words.

 

Haha no frills boob job :D

If Harley medical group had goverment permission to fit them surely It's the goverment that should pay for it...if you impose rules and regulations on a company and charge them tax surely if something goes wrong and the company has behaved according to regulation It's the goverments problem. Can't have it both ways.
