The Danger Within Us: America's Untested, Unregulated Medical Device Industry and One Man's Battle to Survive It

The information provided is easy to understand. Yet shocking. But it should open our eyes more to ask questions and not just jump to treatments. I’ll be sharing this book with my friends to pass around.

Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about how healthcare works.

we need very very mature people working in health care companies. read this to get responsibly about your and your friend's health.

I have read "whistle blower" type books on health care and what this book out lined was an enlightening and frightful behind the scenes look at health care. It looks like the book was very thoroughly researched and kudos for the author. My problem is in the last chapter, What is to be done, one of the solutions she offers in a single payer health care system. She mentions several countries that have a single payer health care system including Canada. I worked in Canada's health care system for 25 years and watched it degrade over the years to the point that I don't even use it anymore despite that I involuntarily pay taxes to support it. She uses a few examples of France's health care system and it may very well be that the answer to safe and effective health care would be employing some of the French model, I would add the US should also look at Germany's health system as well. However to not include the dark side of single payer health care systems for a full and fair assessment of how to solve health care issues is doing a disservice to her readers. I feel so strongly the omission of the serious draw backs to single payer health that I only gave 2 stars and otherwise I would have been inclined to give this a 5 star rating. So I still strongly endorse this book for everything else that the author unveils of the dysfunction of the medical/industrial complex

This book is simply fantastic. It is an easy and fascinating read of how corrupt many organizations are in the USA. I have known Jerome Hoffman, MD, who is referenced here for many years and he is a leader in Emergency Medicine. I am an actively practicing emergency medicine physician of over 29 years and this book is a must read. Ms. Lenzer is an expert and has many articles published in the most respected medical journals, in the USA and abroad. I only wish there were more people out there like Ms. Lenzer and Dr. Hoffman who are trying to improve the medical care system by pointing out the flaws in medical studies and who are trying to do the 'right thing' for the American public without any reimbursement.
