All of you with the Boston Scientific Spine Stimulator have
I got a story for you. About a year ago Boston Sci.
changed out there battery charges due to burns.
Well about 31/2 weeks ago i charged with the replacement
charger and the next day woke with pain where the stimulator
was placed, Its on my left side under my rib cage and sticks
out, which i have complained about since day one and am
still in pain when someone touches me there, but that's
another story. When I lifted my shirt my 8 yr. old daughter
gasped.
There was a quarter size burn so filled and taunt it hurt
along with an odd V shaped blister as well. I went to my
Pain Specialist Dr. who was so VERY concerned he placed me
on 850 mg of Amoxicillian and sent me to see my primary
phys. ASAP. My Primary physcian said they were burns at the
positive and negative sites of the internal battery or
leakage from the same area he was truly concerned and upped
my antibiotic to 1000mg of Amox. I went back to the pain
specialist Dr.s office to meet with him and a rep from
boston scientific, the boston scientific rep said something
definitely seems wrong let me get the Dr. This is where it
gets really good he nonchalantly walks into the office with
the rep there as a witness closes the door, leans against
it, crosses his arms and legs and proceeds to say he spoke
to Robert another Rep. at B.S. and there is no way this
could happen, this is the same guy who was so concerned,
remember. He countined to go on about how Myself and Husband
were not giving him the full story. Well, of course my
husband got pissed and said are you kidding are you trying
to say she burnt herself, her primary phys. said its a
positive and negative burn, his response was is this Dr.
also an electrician. Needless to say my husband took me out
of his office immeadiately while I of course was hysterical
crying, thinking what do I do now. After we walked out my
husband caught up with the Rep and she as well could not
believe what had just happened. Well, now I have no Dr.
Which BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SAID THEY WOULD LOCATE ME A NEW DR.
FAMILIAR WITH THE MACHINE....WELL THAT STILL HASN'T HAPPENED
AND AS FAR AS THE BURNS THEY ARE DEEP AND PAINFUL. PLEASE
IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME LET ME KNOW.
I TRULY WOULD LIKE TO SUE ALL OF THEM THE DR. WHO PUT THE
STIMULATOR IN, BUT WON'T LOOK AT IT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T TAKE
MY INSURANCE ANYMORE. MY PAIN MNGT DR. WHO ALL OF A SUDDEN
DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN AND WITHOUT A DOUBT BOSTON SCIENTIFIC
FOR STILL LEAVING ME OUT IN THE WIND WITHOUT A DR. FAMILIAR
WITH THEIR PRODUCT, WHILE I STILL CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT AND
DEAL WITH PAIN ALL DAY... THERE IS NO WAY TO RECHARGE WITH
DEEP OPEN WOUNDS. SHOULDN'T THEY BE HELPING ME AREN'T THEY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN PRODUCT. IF A LAWYER OR SOMEONE
WHO KNOWS A GOOD LAWYER WHO WOULD TAKE MY CASE PLEASE LET ME
KNOW. THEY CAN'T KEEP PUTTING US ALL OFF FOREVER.
