Vicki Kelly

Vicki Kelly is a 69-year-old Victorian mother who has been paralyzed from the waist down for 17 months due to complications from a Medtronic SynchroMed II pain pump implanted to treat her chronic back pain. Her case has raised concerns about the safety and regulation of medical devices in Australia, as she was unaware of the potential risks associated with the pump, which has been linked to serious adverse events.
