    Imagine going in for routine day surgery to help stop occasional bladder leaks and being left permanently disabled needing a wheelchair or stoma bag.

    That's what's happened to thousands of women around the world.

    When Kath Sansom of Sling the Mesh began her campaign, she never imagined it would resonate with so many. This episode brings Kath's emotional account of her personal struggles with pelvic mesh complications, revealing the depths of a medical disaster that has left countless lives in turmoil and even led some women to take their own lives.

    The conversation with Kath is both enlightening and heart-wrenching, as she discusses not only her own journey—from the debilitating aftermath of surgery to her powerful activism—but also the shared narratives of women facing similar battles.

    The physical and psychological scars left by mesh surgeries are profound . We delve into how these medical procedures have drastically altered lives, leaving individuals grappling with chronic pain, loss of mobility, and an array of systemic health problems and an inability to have sex leading to marriage breakdowns. Kath's insights into the ongoing fight for recognition, the quest for justice, and the stark increase in dependency on medications are eye-opening. This episode is an earnest exploration of the human cost of a healthcare crisis, shedding light on the resilience and determination of those who have been affected.

    Join us as we discuss the urgent need for financial redress and transparency in the healthcare system, and Kath's calls a Sunshine Payment Act. We touch on the stark differences in responses across the globe. Kath’s advocacy work with Sling the Mesh provides a beacon of support, offering resources for anyone affected by mesh. This episode is more than a conversation; it's a call to awareness and empathy for the victims of a widespread medical oversight that demands our attention and action.
