The Bleeding Edge

In the eye-opening documentary "The Bleeding Edge", Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering expose the lax regulations and profit-driven incentives of the $400 billion medical device industry, revealing how lifesaving technologies may actually be killing patients. The film shines a light on devices such as Bayer's permanent birth control Essure, artificial hips prone to cobalt poisoning, and vaginal mesh devices that have injured countless women, all while exploring the FDA's fast-tracked 510(k) process. Through emotionally powerful stories of those affected, "The Bleeding Edge" raises crucial questions about accountability in a industry where profit often takes precedence over patient safety.
