How would you feel if a medical device (or medication) you relied on was recalled for harming patients?

Okay, so I am watching this commercial for a recall on hip replacements. Suppose you get a hip replacement one day, and a little time later, it gets recalled. How mad would you be?
Let’s not limit this to just recalled hip replacements, what about medicines that should make you better getting recalled, or medicines that have risks that are much worse than what it is supposed to be “treating”. What would you do? How would you go about the situation? How mad would you be?
