So far this semester, we have gone over the requirements of testing and have seen the side of quality testing from the POV of the medical device companies. However, we are aware that issues have come up in the past (and present) with medical devices. A new book by Jeanne Lenzer, an award winning investigative journalist, “The Danger Within Us: America’s Untested, Unregulated Medical Device Industry and One Man’s Battle to Survive It” supposedly goes into detail about how medical device companies lack transparency and proper clinical trials.

Although I have not yet personally read the book, I do find it to be interesting. What is your take on this? Do you believe she has some valid point that she is making or do you side with the medical device industry?
