despite the fact that congress ordered the fda to clean up this mess, the fda approved 228 medical devices without a single full-scale review between 2003 - 2007.
why? who was presi... oh. yeah. duh.
of course, they're probably low-risk items like bandages and tongue depre... what's that? they include metal hip joints, external defibrillators, and electrodes for pacemakers?
oh.
so the real issue seems to be which companies made these items, and who in the bush regime they paid to ignore congress's mandate. anyone got the skinny on either or both?
