My final question is on the gendered nature of this issue.
This committee is going to be looking at women's health in another study that's coming up. I'm just wondering.... I can't help but say that this has been going on since the sixties. I think you mentioned cars being recalled, and I think we do have a registry of implants for everything else.
Is it possible that this reflects a larger societal issue about the way we treat women's health by not taking women seriously, by denying their anecdotal complaints, by dismissing them and by being so slow to act when we see clear ties?
