Patients, profits, and people power

Giving birth to three babies took a toll on Amanda Liddell’s body. When her gynaecologist suggested a “miracle” cure, she jumped at the chance. But after receiving a pelvic mesh implant manufactured and distributed by Ethicon and Johnson & Johnson, Amanda woke up from surgery in excruciating pain. She didn’t realise it then, but she wasn’t the only one. In this episode, you’ll hear the story behind one of the biggest class actions in Australian legal history.

Restitution is produced by Deadset Studios and inspired by the book The Right Side of Wrong by Shine Lawyers co-founder Stephen Roche.
