Heading: Ms. Stark Retains an Attorney

Text: In March 2018, Ms. Stark spoke with a friend, Karen Enright, about her two prior TVT sling surgeries and later meshrelated complications. Ms. Enright is a lawyer, and she suggested that Ms. Stark consult with a colleague who specialized in pelvic mesh litigation. Ms. Stark testiﬁed that before that conversation, she had had no reason to investigate whether a mesh-related defect was the source of her complications. Ms. Stark had not researched pelvic mesh litigation, discussed such litigation with her husband, or seen any related advertisements. Ms. Stark had believed that her recurrent mesh erosion was “Just my luck, my Ehlers-Danlos.” In June 2018, Ms. Stark retained an attorney.
