[T1364]Tubal Ligation Failure Rate

by Maxwell Schmickman, Max

As American's life expectancies grow longer, more and more of our body parts are wearing out before we do. One of the first and most common to go are our joints, especially those located at our hips. Because of years of activity, these joints can become worn down as we age, and must be replaced medically. It's become a very common procedure, and it's likely that you or an older loved one has had a hip replaced. If so, read on please, because there is important information you need to know about hip replacement that have been recalled as faulty, made by the manufacturer Zimmer Durom.
There could be a large number of reasons that your loved one, or even yourself, needed to receive a hip replacement made by Zimmer Durom. The procedure, which is known as either hip arthroplasty, or hip replacement more commonly, involves removing the original hip joint and replacing it with an artificially manufactured one. This process is done for a number of reasons, including arthritis pain, located in the joint, the normal wear and tear on the joint because of age, and as part of the treatment for a hip fracture.
The modern hip replacement operation has been taking place since the 1970's, which is why the idea may seem so commonplace to you. A hip replacement, such as those from Zimmer Durom, most commonly involves three separate pieces, designed to mimic how a natural knee joint would. They include a metal replacement for part of the femur. A component which allows for movement like the joint naturally would, and either bone cement or screws to hold the contraption in place.
One of the most common issues with hip replacements is the need for revision, or a further surgery to correct issues with the implant. Unfortunately, this is something many elderly and even healthy young patients cannot tolerate. It is the focus of the Zimmer Durom recall. The Zimmer Durom device was used by doctors in younger patients that would normally need a hip replacement, as it was designed to be long lasting. However, almost 12 percent of these patients needed surgery again within two years, prompting an outcry.
Though Zimmer Durom has maintained that this high failure rate is caused by surgeon error, it pulled the replacement from the market in July 2008 after its own internal study found that 8 percent of the devices needed revision in two years. This has let many doctors and lawyers to believe the issue is with the replacement.
So if you or someone you love has received a hip replacement in the last several years, contact your doctor. If it's a Zimmer Durom, be sure to sign nothing they send you, as you may have the right to join a class action law suit, even if your replacement has not yet failed.

Ever hear the statistic that 95% who try network marketing fail at it? Well if you've been involved in the home based business arena for longer than a few months, then I bet you have. But I bet you've also heard the statistic that 95% of Americans end up broke. So here's a question: Do you think it's just a coincidence that both of these groups have a 95% failure rate?

The answer is no. The reasons that most fail in network marketing are the exact same reasons that most fail financially as a whole. And as you might guess, these reasons really aren't all that complicated as failure in anything almost always comes down to either quitting, or worse, never getting started.

Let's start with the quitters. Unfortunately, this describes most home based business goers today. They go from one income opportunity to the next, never really building any solid foundation from which to launch a successful business. They try something a time or two, but once they encounter any serious resistance, rejection or failure, they throw in the towel.

Worse still are those who start a brand new network marketing business out of their desire to achieve financial independence, but never go beyond the first chapter of the training manual or dial into their second training call. These folks start with the best intentions, but eventually allow procrastination or fear to get the best of them.

Now to be fair, I must admit that, yes, there are scams out there. Also, some network marketing companies have less than stellar training programs, and/or some uplines fail to provide adequate contact, support and training as well. And the list goes on and on. The point is that things happen outside of our control and these things often contribute to the inevitable failures we endure on our journey to success.

However, when something like that happens, we must see it as nothing more than a failed approach to realizing a goal, and not a failed goal itself. Meaning, if our goal is to achieve financial independence and our first attempt at it fails for reasons beyond our control, then we owe it to ourselves to simply find a new approach.

Suffice it to say that the 95% failure rate in network marketing really isn't all that significant especially when you consider that it's certainly possible to succeed where countless others have failed. It just requires finding out what they did or failed to do, and avoiding those same mistakes.

So the next time you hear about the 95% failure rate in network marketing notice where it's coming from. More often than not it will be used as part of a sales pitch by someone trying to sell you something that will supposedly keep you out of that 95% bracket. Buyer beware! What determines a person's success in network marketing over the long run isn't something they can buy. MLM success is about a commitment to acquire the skills necessary to succeed, as well as a decision to relentlessly pursue success until it's achieved.
