I'm Jane Akre, the News Editor at Mesh / Medical Device News Desk and I'm here to help and to put a face on the devastating injuries that women and men report to the FDA. Really. I have found this to be an extraordinary story ever since I did the Suffering in Silence series more than two years ago for InjuryBoard.com

See it here:

Suffering in Silence- Part One; Part Two; Part Three; Part Four

Here's my background from another website I run, Journalism Juice. I have more than 30 years in the news business and find the lack of regulation over these devices often used by the targeted baby boomer generation to be a major story especially since they are intended to be permanently implanted!

There is more followup on defective automobiles than medical devices which do not undergo premarket approval.

I am not a lawyer or a medical professional so the information contained in this site is not intended to substitute for information from your lawyer or doctor, however I can access the professionals who can answer your questions!

I understand if you don't want to use your name. I do need to verify you are a real person so let me know how I can contact you. Let's continue the conversation.
