    That OPOSSUM warning was about as helpful for warning audience members as the FDA was for warning patients.

    My mother had vaginal mesh implanted in her. We went to dozens of hospitals to look for answers. They gave her oxycotin to deal with the pain and she died when I was 11 leaving behind four children. She had lots of surgerys to look for the reason for the pain, during one of them the surgeon left a cue tip inside of her (found in her autopsy). We couldn't sue because she had to many surgerys to be able to pin point which one caised the damage. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone talk about vaginal mesh beyond the lawsuit commercials. Thanks for the reporting it means alot.

    EU: where people complain about regulations US: where people die because of lack of regulations
  • I can't believe you'd tease me with Momz in da Hood. I've never been more excited in my life.
  • @InfansDeAter
    An informative comedy show made me depressed but it did educate me on a subject so I am legally required to rate my experience as excellent.
  • @userasdf
    As a physician I've been complaining about this for years. Glad it's getting some attention.

    This man and his research team are national treasures. I wish they would start an academy to teach journalists how to present important information to the masses.

    1:05 "You think they're coming to a post-Game of Thrones HBO?" Oof
  • @rovvy221
    Almost every issue brought up by John has one thing in common, lobbying and money in politics. END the broad* daylight corruption.

    I didn't get pregnant, so I'm rating this episode as excellent.

    America is the best material John Oliver could ask for as a comedian 😂
  • I’m on a John Oliver binge because I’m in the hospital recovering from having my colon removed, previous ostomy closed, had huge mesh placed and now have a new ileostomy. This may not have been the most comforting episode to come across 😅😳. Most necessary. Probably. Just not comforting 😔😖.
  • @emilypoet25
    I'm actually so pissed that Momz N Da Hood weren't actually there lmao
  • @TooMuchDad
    Nobody: John Oliver: Here’s another thing to be very worried about
  • @Lollan91
    The women: i'm in pain Them: but DiD yoU diE?! Then it's excellent
  • @strain42
    In all fairness, I think if I start using "Did I wind up pregnant?" as my basis for whether or not something is excellent, I'll probably end up having a much more positive outlook on things.
