Does she have more details about these cases that she’s seen?

I am coming up to my first year with AMS, I pump various times a day and it is better than ever. My cousin, has had the same Boston Scientific for the past 15 years and according to him, he has not had an issue to this day. It all depends on the surgeon in regards to infection. My doctor pumped me with antibiotics for 24 hrs (vancomyacin) and never had an issue.
