I encourage everyone to watch this documentary! You will think twice before ever having a surgical procedure

Do you get fooled by sensationalist "documentaries" where every single point can be easily disproven with readily available unbiased data? Then this movie was practically made for you! Watch and be amazed as the creators make out a handful of women to represent the hundred thousands of Essure recipients! Something that has only been documented 18 times? Clearly hip replacements are the cause of age-related dementia! Definitely not any of the widely accepted science mumbo-jumbo! Unskilled surgeons cause problems? Clearly the machine's fault! How depressing it is that so many people will take obviously biased schlock as truth, no matter how outlandish.

I have been a Registered Nurse for over 18 years, and I agree this is a HUGE problem we are facing! I will also say (as a medical professional), that until this film, I was not aware there were "loopholes" allowing medical devices to piggyback off of studies that frankly do not apply, and even those studies that were completed lacking in actual data. We are trained that medications and devices go through stringent testing to be considered "safe", and sadly that appears to no longer be the case. I will be encouraging everyone I know to watch this film, but wholeheartedly agree with the "safety warnings" at the end of the film:Know what is being placed in your body, and how long it's been available on the market Ask for second or even third opinions Ask your surgeon how many times they've performed the specific operation you're undergoing, and Have a family member or friend act as your advocate while incapacitated by surgery.

As always tremendously well executed by Netflix. But the exact same message could have been demonstrated and showed in a much shorter movie. In the end, there are only a few medical devices addressed and the movie unfortunately becomes more and more repetitive.
