Crystal Mesh: How Addiction to Money Turned Medical Device Makers, the FDA, and Doctors Into Street Dealers

by Alicia Mundy, Jennifer Banmiller

The inside story of mesh and how women’s health was traded for quick cash. This is a story about greed. The story of vaginal mesh and genital mutilation has all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster—billions of dollars, vulnerable women patients, Lamborghinis and ski trips dangled in front of doctors, and scandalous corporate emails. But it’s not a movie. It is real life, and real women are left suffering in the wake of capitalism gone wild.

This well-written book is a total eye opener to consumers about just how terrible our healthcare and regulatory systems can be at identifying bad medicine and doing something about it before it's too late. The women in this book tell their stories of serious vaginal mutilation at the hands of the greedy. After you read this, you'll be left asking yourself how this type of thing happens in today's day and age of knowledge, technology and advanced healthcare. It shows how the human body can be monetized by those without ethics and professional responsibility. Thank you to the authors for bringing this issue to light, and may we all be aware of the hidden dangers in medicine if we don't stay informed. And once we learn about issues, we need to talk about them over and over again until they take hold and are taken seriously.

Incredibly powerful book telling the truth we never hear about. How can the medical industry keep so quiet while so many are having their lives destroyed? All for Money... Great read... everyone should read this. Knowledge is power and this book tells the horrifying stories of victims that more people should know about. Thank you for sharing the information, as hard as it was to learn Thank you for standing up for those who have suffered and those who don't know yet but need to. I hope this book gets a ton of PRESS!
