DePuy Hip Replacement Recall Patient Suffers Blood Poisoning

HEART BREAKING! DePuy ASR Implant causes toxic metal taste. What if this once active woman was your mother or grandmother? Would you be mad? So much suffering could have been prevented if DePuy, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, had told surgeons and their patients in America that the DePuy ASR hip implant had already been recalled overseas.
Sixty-three year old DeeDee Hill-Morgan noticed that her scrambled eggs at breakfast tasted like metal. She had also started to experience bouts of nausea, dizziness and blurred vision. The problems started shortly after DeeDee received her second DePuy ASR hip implant.
DeeDee as well as thousands of DePuy hip replacement recall patients suffer from hip implant metal poisoning. The defective DePuy ASR hip implant releases particles of the toxic heavy metals, poisonous cobalt and chromium, into the bloodstream. Studies by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicate these cancer-causing metals may damage the heart, brain, and kidneys. The New York Times recently reported that in the wake of DePuy's hip replacement failure, "many patients...developed inexplicable pain, and surgeons, when replacing the implant, discovered mysterious masses of dead tissue near the thighs of some patients."
DeeDee's pain grew so severe that she began limping and could only sleep on one side. When DeeDee's surgeon heard about DePuy's hip replacement recall he ordered hip implant blood tests.
The blood test discovered that her cobalt level was 21-times the norm and chromium was 8-times and headed to higher levels.
DeeDee had expected the DePuy ASR hip implant would give her a new lease on life. She was a veteran probation officer and the third generation of women in her family to actively practice yoga. Her surgeon had implanted the DePup ASR hip implant for both legs in a two-year period.
The hip implant blood poisoning was so life threatening that her surgeon took the drastic action of removing both of her DePuy recalled hip replacements at the same time. The long recovery and medical expenses have cost DeeDee her job.
After learning that her second DePuy ASR hip implant had been recalled overseas four months before her surgery, DeeDee began looking for an experienced hip implant lawyer.
Dan McDonald, a highly peer rated attorney of the Parker McDonald law firm, now represents DeeDee. McDonald warns that the DePuy recalled hip replacements are deadly dangerous and that all DePuy ASR hip implant patients are at grave risk.
McDonald says their biomechanical engineer believes that the hip replacement failure rate of the DePuy ASR hip implant will be nearly 100%.

I feel your pain. Literally. I also have the Depuy hip and it has changed my life and not for the good. The nausa/voming is rough to get thru at times. Being on pain medication doesn't help. This is devastating to my family. Now we play the waiting game so see what will become of us. Thank you for the video, now I can see others going thru what I am. God Bless

Very awful what happened to this poor lady. This should never happen to anyone!! Prayers for this lady and her family.

[semprund]

I can't believe this happened to her.. poor lady!!

My husband is a victim of the DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal as well. Same and more symptoms as the lady in the video. Always present terrible pain and 200 times higher than normal toxic metal levels in the bloodstreams. DePuy and most doctors downplay all issues, hopefully good lawyers will fight for all the victims.

Tasting metal in her mouth? That poor woman. DePuy is such an awful company for putting her through this.

Sad!

[draftzero]

So much cobolt in her body that she could taste the metal! That is just fowl... can't believe J&J let it go that far.

[WrightIMC]

The folks behind these implants should have to undergo major surgery with metal in their mouth. I am appalled.

[lilxlan]

This is so sad. I can't imagine what they're going through.
