How Could HHS Approve a Fictitious Medical Device?

It seems like all our medical institutions are not very trustworthy. Even though they advertise themselves as a very reputable establishment, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has recently approved a fictitious device. The Government Accountability Office has made up a whole review board. They also made panel of doctors consisted of fictitious personalities with such names as April Phuls and Timothy Wittless and was led by a Truper Daug (which is actually a name of a pet dog that have already died a long time ago). People who work at the Department of Health and Human Services did not even think that those names sound suspicious.

Then, the Government Accountability Office decided to check out how trustworthy the existing review boards are and made up a special so to say medical product called Adhesiabloc. It was a special adhesive gel that could be used after surgeries as superglue. The Government Accountability Office asked the review board to allow a clinical trial of the products and their proposal was approved! Not taking into account the fact that to try this product on humans, it was needed to pour one liter of this adhesive gel into the stomach of people.

After being caught by making such a huge mistake, the review board has decided to accuse the representatives of the Government Accountability Office for misrepresenting themselves and providing fake documents. But this is what should have been mentioned by the review board in the first place! This establishment is so easy to cheat, they can believe anything anyone tells them and have most probably forgotten that their main duty is to check the credibility of everything.

This review board is one of six thousands of review boards in the United States. Can you imagine how many mistakes they might have already made? Just keep in mind buying another medical device that the Department of Health and Human Services is so much untrustworthy that they can allow a fictitious review board led by a dead dog exist and make decisions. The Government Accountability Office have checked only one review group of six thousands, which means that there are surely more lousy review boards like this that do not care of what they do.

It proves once again that this whole system of authoritative bodies and department is a complete joke. You can easily make a number of fake documents and get the review boards do anything you want. They do not bother to check the information you provide them with a can easily believe that everything you are saying is true.

Do not forget about the corruption at the Food and Drug Administration. Together with irresponsibility of review boards and the Department of Health and Human Services they can flood the market with a huge amount of different medical devices that can easily lead to fatal results. This is all about bureaucracy and total mess that take place in these establishments and should be stopped.
