Davol still attacking surgeons about the recalled Composix Kugel mesh

Anonymous

Yesterday I was speaking with one of the surgeons in my territory who has been tangentially involved in Davol's Composix Kugel recall lawsuits. Apparently, he had a patient who had one of those Composix Kugel Patches with the ring break and injure her bowel. Davol's lawyers then blamed everything on the surgeon and said their product was fine...he is pissed about it. I then went and read the news articles about the case that just tried in RI and saw that Davol did the same thing to the doctor there (and the case that tried last spring, too). Just getting this out there to let everyone else know how Davol is defending those cases...by slamming the doctors and saying it is all their fault. I wish there was a better way we could let them all know how 2-faced Davol is being about all this.
 












For what its worth, I'd consider and think about the comments you make on any website. Nothing is anonymous. There are examples every day about posters who cross the line on blogs or sites and ip addresses are the first thing the lawyers request and if the comments are false, defamatory or libel, they get it. Does not matter if your a current or former employee, it is a pain and costly. I know this from experience, so take it for what it's worth.
 






Hey asshole they can not get the IP addresses. My company tried and the lawyers could not get them because cafepharma does not collect them. Have you read the shit on here? I have read some of the most fucked up shit on here that attacks people by name and worse. Nothing will or can be done. Schmuck.
 












Read the fine print. If you like your chances, go for it. If you wonder how certain addresses are retained on sites for criminal action, then assume their captured. Either way, feel free to blast away at you own personal risk.
 






Is this the fine print you're talking about? Cause umm I have and it doesn't seem to support your case.

Cafepharma is committed to free speech. And to this end, we do allow anonymous posting on many of the message boards. We think that anonymous speech has established a long record of value throughout history.

However, we do not allow posts that constitute personal attacks on identified individuals. We delete such posts when we become aware of them. Personal attacks include references to personal appearance or lifestyle and personal relationships. Allegations of criminal wrongdoing or personal misconduct are also considered personal attacks. Additionally, unsavory names attached to identified individuals are not allowed.

Overtly racist posts and posts that seem designed to denigrate specific groups (i.e.. females, specific company reps,etc) will also be removed.

Posts that are purported to be made by identified individuals may be deleted.

Posts made by "trolls" designed to simply "get a rise" out of readers will also be deleted.

Cafepharma may delete other posts/threads at its discretion in order to maintain the usability of the boards.

Although we may miss posts that violate these policies, we delete them when we become aware of them.

To protect user anonymity we do not record anonymous poster information such as IP addresses, email addresses, etc. linked to posts. However, in certain unusual circumstances where criminal activity may be involved (credible threats of violence, terrorism, threats against web services...) this may be temporarily changed. In this case, all information not related to the case will be deleted beyond recovery.

We allow a tremendous range of free speech and discussion on our forums. Our board management decisions are made with the goals of keeping the forums usable and valuable and protecting individuals from personal attack.
