A short recorded discussion (YouTube video) between two speakers about breast implant illness (BII).

There were things that weren't adding up that were not making me feel good, but it wasn't one camp or the other. When I started to recognize those signs over and over, like little breadcrumbs, I wanted to do something about it. But I don't think that it has to be, like, so black and white, because not everyone is not the same. We're all different. We're all, like you said, different genetic makeups. There's.
