Re: ENDO digest 5469

During my last lap surgery in August, my physician administered Intergel. I just found out that Intergel was recalled by its makers Johnson and Johnson. Has anyone else been given Intergel? I'm a bit confused now as to how to proceed....wait and see, seek legal advice, or just be happy that I'm not one of the unfortunate women who lost their life b/c of this product. My heart truly goes out to them. Thanks for any input.
