*Did anyone have to sign a waiver, or something, on a Mirena pack...

*Did anyone have to sign a waiver, or something, on a Mirena packet, before they had it inserted?* I didn't even read it, yeah.......I know.... :( It looked like the doctor version of the pamphlet that I was handed the week before I got this evil thing. I may print some pages of this blog out, and give it to my GYN when I have it removed. I'm wondering if there's some sorta "kickback" they get for having their patients inserted with it? Free lunches from the drug reps?? I wonder if what I signed made me give up my rights to sue them????? Any thoughts?

Not only do I agree with you about "DR's possibly getting a kickback" for promoting these devices, (including uterine ablation),
but I think that they "get punished" for every removal that they do that is not part of the "must be removed within 5 years" cycle.
I'm very curious to see if there is a "log" that they have to submit and to who it goes to. THAT information should be public.
I had to fight tooth and nail for them to remove mine, starting with the receptionist who battled me over insurance coverage ("oh, they don't cover removals") to the DR that inserted it. (they refused after my first demand and could not refuse when I didn't stop calling them.

I did sign a waiver however I have no idea what I signed nor did I keep a copy. I hope my OB is not selling her soul to the pharmacy companies at the expense of her patients.
