Despite being promoted to Valve Director in 2006, Dr. Nalini M. Rajamannan was terminated in 2008 after reporting the use of non-FDA approved, experimental medical devices being implanted in patients without their knowledge.
The doctor conducting these human experiments, Dr. Patrick McCarthy, was testing his own inventions, an IMR annuloplasty device and a Myxo annuloplasty device manufactured by Edwards Lifescience.

I agree with you, except for the part where there was no consent given.
I do not take every pill my doctor tells me to as I think half of them are crap, I am still alive too.
So if something goes in me I need alot of knowledge on it or I will need a ring and a commitment.

I object mainly to the lack of informed consent here. A device that is not approved is one thing but to put it in a patient and not tell them and they end up discovering it post op after it is replaced is just way too bad a move to consider. It is just unethical.

I was canned for whistle blowing about neglect & abuse of the mentally & physically disabled in facilities I worked in. No one cares, go try to be a whistle blower at your job and see what happens. It's about profits not about health & safety. Incidents are always swept under the rug, business as usual, that's how it goes in the real world of Corporatocracy.
OSHA is a joke as well. I called them too and they came down and inspected the facility "after informing my company of the date & time they would be inspecting", which was giving my company almost a week to prepare. These oversight agencies are a joke, what exists on paper is just for show.edit on 11-11-2011 by JibbyJedi because: (no reason given)
also, in bizzarro-world, pointing out that the nazis [and eugenicists] were never defeated,they just went underground, is responded with rolling eyes and shaking heads.
Common sense isn't as common as they say it is.
