The biggest NHS scandal you've never heard of only affects women, but men should be just as concerned This year, news broke of a dangerous medical device, after years of campaigning and investigation.
Senior doctors have said it could be the most serious medical scandal since thalidomide. There have been calls in Parliament for a public inquiry into the situation.
Oh and, you may not have heard of it – because it’s about vaginas.
Specifically, transvaginal mesh procedures, which many believe are unsafe, untested and improperly prescribed as a treatment for common complications related to childbirth, such as incontinence or prolapse. The scandal was the subject of The Independent’s long read last week, yet has has received relatively little headline attention.
