In this episode I am providing the update to the previous episode

TOXIC HIP IMPLANT (https://www.saurabhbhatia.com/e/s2e1-toxic-hip-implants-dirty-secrets-of-health-industry/)

Moneycontrol's podcast yesterday confirmed that J&J have been ordered to provide 1.2cr per patient as compensation (https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-r82i6-525472f)

The first of its kind landmark judgment for healthcare industry to make defaulters pay for their shortcomings.

Spread the word. Let those who were wronged get adequate compensation.

In this first episode of Season-2, i have brought out and highlighted the case of Cobalt toxicity that was caused by Hip implants from JnJ/ DePuy. The case highlighted flaws in device approval and research systems where a device that was toxic was allowed in the market for several years before being finally recalled by the company.

At the same time, "even as one metal-on-metal hip implant was being recalled and cases against it were being settled, the same company, DePuy, was marketing another prosthetic hip, the Pinnacle (Ultamet), with the same metal-on-metal design."

In 2018, Times of India reported that JnJ was ordered to pay INR 20 Lakhs/ patient.
