Michael Lin Baum, a senior managing partner at Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman, has handled many whistleblower and medical device cases. One such case detailed in a book involved a client who sued her neurosurgeon, Medtronic, and its subsidiaries over an allegedly defective and unsafe bone graft device called Infuse that was used in her off-label cervical fusion surgery without her full consent or knowledge of her doctor's financial ties to the manufacturer, and which led to health issues like ectopic bone overgrowth and severe pain. The case brings attention to the largely unregulated medical device industry where products are often implanted without clinical trials.
