Surgery article -"Toronto Star" (fri/nov/24)

Body: 

Hi

just wanted to alert our toronto contingent about the article called "Ah to jump again" all about the "wonderfull" benifit's of the TVT secur procedure for incontinance.. unbelievable and completely unresearched.

just an page and a half of an uncritcal write up of the tvt sensur sling procedure, concluding that all women should, essentially line up round the block for this minimal procedure. Plus "a great quality of lifestyle" would be the end result!

no potential nerve damage, scarring problem's,failure rate after time, potentil reacting to foreign and possible carcinogenic material etc etc etc....

If anyone want's to respond by e-mail the web site for the toronto star is "thestar.com",

Best wishes

Anne-helen (AnnKane for some reason now? - Is there a way i can reclaim my old name by the way?? A little confused about the re-name issue. But that's another post =)
