Description
The Danger Within Us: A shocking exposé of America's unregulated medical device industry. In this gripping story, award-winning journalist Jeanne Lenzer reveals the dark underbelly of the medical device industry, where corruption and profiteering run rampant. After one man's life-threatening experience with a "cure", he becomes embroiled in a battle for justice against the medical establishment. Lenzer's investigation takes her on a journey through the industry's shocking lack of oversight, leading to devices such as artificial hips and pacemakers being approved without ever undergoing clinical trials. The consequences are alarming: medical interventions have become the third leading cause of death in America, with an estimated 10% of Americans implanted with devices that have never been tested. Lenzer's book is a stirring call for reform and a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the future of American healthcare.
