Some pretty bad things happened in the US.

What's the story in Europe?

So sad to see this happening; best of luck to all.

Last week was a pretty tough week in Europe.

We have been told that everyone will know what will happen to them by Easter.

In some countries it might be "proposed" changes (due to labour regulations) but "proposed" and actual changes usually come out more or less the same...

What I'm seeing in my country is that little changed this time.

Probably the Endurance restructuring was enough.

That is good news. With the recent articles regarding ALCL, have any of the customers in Europe been concerned? US customers do not seem concerned.

There has been some on-off ALCL noise in the market for years, particularly among scientifically minded doctors.

At the end of the day most customers understand that their patient is probably more likely to die in a plane crash than from ALCL, so that helps put things into proper perspective.

I was on my college breast team for a while, but I got kicked off for motorboating the cheerleaders.

While the absolute risk for ALCL is small, the risk relative to competitors is huge. A completely unnecessary risk. To my knowledge Allergan's only response to this is to come out with some really lame talking points for reps to parrot.
