Woman claims "I was sterlized against my will!" after having 9 children...

eh...okay...we know that safety nets are only in place after there's proof of mishandling rather than suspicion of the potential for mishandling.

Box in a box or not, this concept still yucks me out, and I have a pretty high tolerance for yucky things.

Well, all medical products are inspected before use whether or not they are provided by the hospital, because even hospitals have been known to provide expired products, products with broken seals, broken implants,etc. Every item must be inspected for intact packaging, expiration dates, signs of mishandling (ie crushing, folding, evidence of breakage) before using on a patient. It must also be confirmed that the correct product is being used since many malpractice issues have centered around this issue. There is nothing new under the sun...

So, it must be confirmed that the device is absolutely positively untampered and working in the condition that it was given to the patient?

Exactly.
