Add paralyzed as of today with rare cactus fruit. No joke. Carry on. Nothing else to see here.

DISGUSTING

The comparison of insulin pumps in this story isn’t valid. Many of the insulin pump “injuries” reported to the FDA are the result of user error or simply due to the unpredictable nature of type 1 diabetes.

SMH just give these folks some damn weed

I went through a spinal cord stimulator trial about 6 years ago, but couldn't go through with having the permanent implant. I ended up having ketamine infusion and radio frequency ablation instead, and they completely knocked out my nerve pain.

Ugh the opioid crisis was not over Rx prescriptions. Chronic pain sufferers are struggling and they knew what did work for them and illegal drug users screwed that up. So now actual Rx prescribed chronic pain sufferers are still being punished and made to feel worse.

Pretty sure the tactic here is to give you a new pain from the shocking and burning that takes your mind off the old pain in your back or whatever. Opioid addiction solved!

😳😳😳😳😳

Obviously the rehabers are Mel Sembler Trained followed right in his footsteps

The sheer amount of completely garbage individuals thinking this is somehow funny goes to show how horrifying human beings are. They laugh at others’ agony, then meet at church on Sunday to pat themselves on the back. Such crap.

Activists detained in Saudi Arabia are receiving these same treatments.

Probably better than dying from overdose

Can we use them on the border?

Device treating pain draws thousands of injury reportsCOLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) — Desperate for relief after years of agony, Jim Taft listened intently as his pain management doctor described a medical device that could change his life. It wouldn't fix the nerve damage in his mangled right arm, Taft and his wife recalled the doctor saying, but a spinal-cord stimulator would cloak his pain, making him 'good as new.' Taft's stimulator failed soon after it was surgically implanted. After an operation to repair it, he said, the device shocked him so many times that he couldn't sleep and even fell down a flight of stairs. Today, the 45-year-old Taft is virtually paralyzed, a prisoner in his own bed, barely able to get to the bathroom by himself. NBCNews ICIJorg Is that more than firearm homicides? NBCNews ICIJorg Its called greed.Those in the medical field are the worst. We have 2 hospitals in Reno and both have lied to me point blank about medical problems to enhance thier pockets. You have no recourse congress has made sure of that. NBCNews ICIJorg The Bleeding Edge is an eye opening documentary about the medical device industry.
