Long story short. I have been battling with horrid side effects from Essure and finally complained to PALS after being told the only option was the pain clinic.
My complaint got me an appointment with the consultant who fitted the Essure. He told me that women were making the symptoms up because they wanted money from a lawsuit against Bayer. Especially in the states.
I told him that I was just in so much pain and compensation from Bayer was not in the picture for me at all. In fact it had never occured to me. He also said he had never done this surgery before but also said i didnt have to worry about it.
I have been put on the waiting list but I am worried. Women who had this done wrongly have had to have further surgery to correct the effects.
I also Googled him and he wrote a paper where he declared that he received payments from Bayer. That explains his comments about women lying in my opinion.
I really don't want this man to touch me but I don't know how to stop it or tell my GP I would prefer a different doctor. What should I do? He is a well respected ob gynae and I feel it is my word against his.
