The Essure Problems website recently published an article titled The Waiting Game. The message is so good that I’m reprinting the article here. I have added new information, where available, in bolded brackets. The Essure Waiting Game article begins below.


Faces of E-Free

Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) just launched the “Faces of E-Free series, focused on sharing the stories of those harmed by Bayer’s “permanent” birth control device, Essure.

Driving with NO Airbags

As bad an idea as that may seem, some drivers are choosing driving with no airbags over risking an explosion of defective Takata airbags.

Physician Recognized Patient’s Allergy to Essure Device

Today’s video is a double-edged sword. One edge of that blade, sadly, cuts through women’s flesh.

Essure Investigation Uncovered

This video is just over one year old. It’s a newscast in which the reporter shares information obtained in her investigation of Bayer’s Essure. However, that is not the investigation referred to in this post’s title. The Essure investigation uncovered is actually an FDA investigation of Essure’s original manufacturer, Conceptus. Bayer purchased Essure from Conceptus for $1.1B.


The Importance of Hedges v. Obama
