Medical interventions kill more Americans each year than diabetes, murders, car accidents, and AIDS combined. In The Danger Within Us, award-winning journalist Jeanne Lenzer brings this horrifying statistic to life through the story of one working-class man who, after his 'cure' nearly kills him, embarks on a battle for justice against the wildly profitable and underexamined medical device industry. Tens of millions of Americans have medical devices inside them, from pacemakers and artificial hips to cardiac stents and breast implants. But what do we really know about the companies that manufacture and sell these products? As Lenzer follows our hero on his whistle-blowing crusade, she discovers an industry with a shocking lack of oversight and with corporate corruption, kickbacks, and elaborate cover-ups; an industry so powerful that the FDA, politicians, and even the Supreme Court bend to its will. The result? Millions of Americans are serving as unwitting test subjects to determine whether the devices in their bodies are safe. A meticulously researched and propulsive read that will make your blood boil, The Danger Within Us reveals the sickness of our greed-driven medical establishment and its unseen casualties, While it also points the way toward a cure, suggesting how we might reform the flawed systems we depend on for our very lives."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47681 Lenzer Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.47681 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47681 Lenzer Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47681 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.47681 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
