What defective and faulty DePuy Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants can do to people!
Victimized by a faulty and toxic hip implant! It can happen to anybody within a blink of an eye........
Unable to stand up for more than a couple of minutes, unable to walk for more than 100 yards without extra terrible pain besides always present pain. Unable to sit or lie down in certain positions for very limited periods of time, unable to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. Waking up screaming in pain during these couple of hours. Strongest pain medication only helps temporarily and causes other damaging side effects. Afraid to cough, afraid to take a deep breath, afraid to sneeze or yawn, because all cause extra severe pain besides always present pain. These and other symptoms are experienced and shared by thousands of patients. All caused by faulty metal-on-metal hip implants, manufactured and sold by one of the industry's giants. More and more orthopedic doctors become opponents of metal-on-metal hip implants: They talk more and more about tissue, organ and brain damages to people that have metal-on-metal hip implants. Tissue damage can be as severe as revision surgeries can't be successful. One of the latest studies reports severe loss of teeth due to bad side effects of toxic poison in peoples bodies (author of this article lost 5 teeth within 3 months).
The worst of all is the ongoing metal poisoning in victims bodies: Metal poisoning (Metallosis) effects organs like liver and kidneys, also brain damage can occur, these metal-on-metal hips are life threatening if not taken out in time. The manufacturer refuses responsibility, denies liability, and postpones federal court proceedings. Even that the manufacturer paid illegal kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to doctors and bribed entire countries for many years, they rather paid millions of dollars in fines in order to avoid criminal charges (you'll find links to all that down below) instead of helping victims and admit guilt. They rather postpone and hope that as many victims as possible die, so they don't have to pay them once a federal jury finds them liable.
Maybe you have seen advertisements from attorneys and lawyers on TV, radio, and other media. That is all fine, and it is great that attorneys represent thousands of victims in a couple of federal court cases. While it will take more time to settle and/or to reach verdicts in these federal cases, there is a time when people-helping-people is imminent and the only way to survive.
PLEASE, give and donate. Even any smaller donation helps in order to overcome extreme financial hardship caused by the manufacturer's greed. Will give and donate back when federal lawsuit settles in favor of victims of these faulty hip implants. Just click DONATE button below and fill in amount you want to donate.

Hardship after surgeries and revision surgeries
Many victims of faulty hip implants experience extreme financial hardship. Loss of job, loss of benefits are only the beginning in most cases. Usually, disability benefits are NOT granted for years! Victims of these faulty hip implants have to go through frustrating denials and hearings. If and once disability is granted, victims might have a chance to get basic Medicare coverage, but Medicare covers only 80%. And most revision surgeries cost between USD100,000 and 150,000, most people even can't have much needed revision surgery done. Many orthopedic doctors promoted DePuy metal-on-metal hip as, quote, "Especially designed for younger patients as they last for 20 to 25 years, or more." In reality, way too many younger patients never experienced benefits from these hip implants, they rather share all the symptoms mentioned above. Once people have lost their jobs and benefits, many victims lose life savings, lose their homes because they are unable to pay their mortgages. They get evicted because they can't pay their rent, their cars get repossessed because they can't make their car payments anymore.
Why do many of these DePuy hip implant victims need help?
Here is why we like you to help:
Many of the victims need immediate medical assistance, ie.: It might be only a USD30.00 co-pay on a cane, or even a USD900.00 on an electric wheelchair. Also, financial aide might be needed for a utility bill for next month. It could be a car payment, a mortgage payment. Since many victims have lost health and dental insurance, many are uninsured and they have to pay for doctor's and dentist's visits. Pledge for smaller and larger donations can be made by clicking on one of the paypal buttons on this very website, may it be a dollar or more, you get to choose the amount you want to give.
Doctors:
While many doctors still defend metal-on-metal hip implants, there is a growing number of doctors that oppose metal-on-metal, mainly because of the health risks involved. Remarkable: Doctors who still defend and promote DePuy metal-on-metal hips often can be found on DePuy's website under 'Doctors in your area'. DePuy and other hip implant manufacturers paid more than $300 millions in fines in order to avoid criminal charges for paying illegal kickbacks to doctors in the United States of America alone. Question: Did these 'Doctors in your area' collect illlegal kickbacks, and is that the reason they still defend metal-on-metal hip implants?
Lawyers:
Specialized lawyers represent thousands of DePuy victims in the United States alone. Cases involving DePuy ASR hip implant models are filed with the United States District Court Northern District in Ohio, cases involving DePuy Pinnacle hip implants are filed with the United States District Court of Northern Texas in Dallas/Texas. While both Multi District Lawsuits will take more time to reach judgements or settlements, lawyers represent victims at no cost until such judgements or settlements are reached. One can see advertisements of lawyers on TV, Radio and other media nationwide. Note: Many victims of metal-on-metal are not identified yet. Please, contact us at hccharger123@yahoo.com when you or a loved one suffers from a metal-on-metal hip implant. We will be more than glad to get you in contact with one of the lawyers involved in the case. Or contact one of the lawyers that are listed on this website/blog (coming soon).
