When it comes to our health, failure is one of the last words we want to hear. Yet, nothing in medicine is 100%. Each and every day we're learning new breakthroughs and techniques that allow us to continue advancing in the medical field. And sometimes, those advancements mean that something that we thought worked, actually didn't. This has happened all throughout history, hasn't it Like when doctors used to use leeches to draw out the bad blood. This seems ridiculous to us now - silly almost. But when medical failures hit a little closer to home - in the last five, 10, 30 years - then it doesn't seem so silly. To read more about these medical disasters, go here:

Man, I remember this like it was yesterday. The Tylenol murders scared everyone! Im suprised the Tylonol parent company survived. But, it did spawn a whole nother industry- up until then, you'd buy a item. open it up and use it. After Tylenol, the little seal under the cap was implim3nted almost overnight. Everything that could be infiltrated and prisoned or had something added to the product had to be sealed. multi billion dollar industry

I'm not sure if this is true, but I think I've heard it second hand from videos comparing American food standards to say EU standards that, in the EU they must prove a product is safe, in the US it's the other way around, like to say, it's OK until something bad happens to prove it. Or have I dreamt that

I truly don't understand why the FDA takes so damned long to do anything. if a treatment has been approved by the rest of the world, it takes the FDA an extra 20 years to even make a decision. It's ridiculous! And the conflict of interests that are happening there needs to be stopped ASAP!

In 1986 there was a Tylenol copycat that killed her husband for insurance money using Excedrin. She got away with it but greedy and wanted double indemnity (and maybe a lawsuit. So she killed a random woman with tainted pills and eventually was caught. Search Stella Maudine Nickell.

I remember when this happened. I'm sorry but I was glad it wasn't in Florida. It was horrible to do that to other people
Now we have hard to open bottles, a piece of metal over the bottles and a lot of times a big wad of cotton.

Do a video on the medical item lawsuits like hernia mesh and stuff we all have seen the lawsuits over and why and how the items even got far enough to go into a human body. I have seen the lawsuit ads for almost ten years now

I remember this. Because of this we have all that safety shit on all our medicine. Imagine going to the grocery store and buying Tylenol that wasn't protected by anything other than a cap. Shit was crazy in the '80s

I somehow got spare liver damage from a year of taking Rezulin. Also noteworthy, there was a teacher at my Junior high school who was a thalidomide baby, and it showed with missing left arm, just below the elbow.

I am a DES daughter. My cervix is malformed. My sister couldn't have kids. Also, DES was in the US cattle feed until 1959. My Ob/Gyn was stunned when I told him that. I was born before 1959.

0: 16 Reminds me of the awesome music video Bad Blood by Taylor Swift ft Kendrick Lamar!
There are such awesome agent codenames on that video too!

My dad used to joke about the flipper arms on Thalidomide babies. My mom would get annoyed by this. He had a twisted sense of humor sometimes

I knew a boy whose hand joints were at his elbows and his elbow joints were at his hands. He turned into a peeping tom. A perv.
