Operação Enganosa

Brilliantly produced documentary about how 4 current-day medical devices have had catastrophic health effects for some patients, and how the FDA and industry have failed to prevent this from happening.

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen--coming from one who has seen a lot! I wasn't bored for a minute of this film.

Very well done documentary about medical devices and the people that have had their lives ruined because of several very flawed devices. The FDA's reputation is on the line here and I think I will never be surprised again when the FDA messes up and okays a product for medical use that should never been approved. The loop hole they utilize to circumvent more study and more experiments should have been closed decades ago. Instead, more and more companies use the loopholes to get their product on the market when they never should have been. It all seems to lead back to greed. Big bucks to be had in this industry for sure.

I thought it was well written and easy to follow. But more importantly, I think the message about the medical devices is impressive because it educated about the many adverse reactions medical devices cause in human bodies in some or more than some people. I also was very interested in hearing the patients stories told by the actual patients and also where the people ended up. Very sad actually.

If there's a film that can literally save lives, this is it.

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.

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