Watched The Bleeding Edge documentary on Netflix 2 months ago (it's still available).
Then I read the book (at our library) which provides more detail: The danger within us: America's untested, unregulated medical device industry and one man's battle to survive it. by Lenzer, Jeanne, author.
I learned a lot about how the medical device industry and FDA approval process has changed in the past several decades.

Thanks for the info. My pt recommended the Bleeding Edge too, so I've been meaning to watch it. John Oliver just did an episode on the (essentially) unregulated medical device industry. All the info on this is scary.
