The Trans-Vaginal Mesh Girl

There’s an ad running a lot on cable news right now that’s your average “bad drug” type of ad, where a law firm is trying to get you to sue, sue, sue everybody about your trans-vaginal mesh that went all wrong on you, causing this litany of health problems to your vagina. So during this ad, they show a still photo of a youngish-looking woman, and she’s looking kinda depressed. So this is sad and all. But I’d be willing to bet that this picture is from some stock photo service, like Getty Images, etc., and that this woman wasn’t even asked to be, and wasn’t even aware that she was going to be, the face of the trans-vaginal mesh failure lawsuit commercial. (And maybe she still doesn’t know.) So she’s basically now “The Trans-Vaginal Mesh Girl”, and people will probably recognize her on the street now, and say: “Hey! You’re the trans-vaginal mesh girl, right? I’ve seen you on TV!” And when that starts happening, she’ll know she’s finally arrived!
