For me, Genzyme jumped the shark when my mother died after Seprafilm was used on her during routine surgery and her gastrointestinal tract completely stuck together. Before that, I had never heard of Genzyme or Seprafilm. Neither had she, for that matter. Her surgery wasn't intended for adhesion prevention, Seprafilm was used as an afterthought..."Hey, let's take care of these adhesions while we have her opened. This stuff is completely safe, it says so in the ads and labeling. There are no concerns about allergic reactions. If there were, they would tell us" ... And then, after her reaction, the doctors had no idea what to do or how to treat her because there was absolutely no information provided from Genzyme for dealing with this. You can imagine my surprise when I saw all of the similar reactions on the FDA medical device adverse reaction database and my disbelief that this stuff is allowed to continue to be marketed without any warnings against allergies despite these reactions... It makes you wonder what's going on in Washington... And Genzyme really jumped the shark when they didn't report my mother's death to the FDA. But the thing that really bothers me is that there is a sales rep out there that knows that this happened and he toed the company line and kept his mouth shut and, as a result, more people have reacted and the FDA continues to do nothing about this. That's really jumping the shark...right into hell. And, if you're not reading this with the empathy that my family and I deserve, then you've jumped the shark too and you are right in there with everyone and everything that you hate about Genzyme. So shut up or step up.
