port definatly leaked

[snowangel 0]

Can I get the manufacterers to pay me for my 6 hours driving back and forth to the city, and for all the copays and expenses? It's not fair I have to go through all of this again because there was a defect. Not to mention myself and my husband missing work- We do not get paid time off!!!!!!!!

Iam angry!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd have to give more information. Have you ever had a fill that stayed? How do you know you have a leak? Was the fill done x2 under fluoro? Did the doc prime the band during surgery? How much did he prime it with and using which needle?

You have to prove it is a manufacturers defect vs. the common misconception that there is a leak upon going for a 2nd fill. You have to prove it was not the doc's error for using an incorrect needle assuming he primed the tubing during surgery.

It's really quite hard to prove. :eek:
