Cobalt prosthetic total hip replacement problems.

My one true friend underwent a hip replacement several years ago and for the last year cobalt from the parts has been leaking into his bloodstream.
He experiences chronic pain and it will eventually kill him.

I hope they replace it, and he doesn't have to pay for a new one.

@calicuz He has already had two hip replacements and does not want to go through the procedure again. He is 77 years old.
