John tackles the US multi-billion dollar medical device industry, which lacks proper monitoring and necessary regulations. He also explains the huge difference between the terms 'FDA approved' and 'FDA cleared,' and points out the loopholes and corruption through lobbying the companies in the industry use to bypass the government's flawed and dated oversight system.
