Victim Of Defective Medical Device Wants Manufacturer To Take Responsibility
Michael Mulvihill says he received 22 electric shocks within a span of 53 minutes from a faulty Medtronic defibrillator. The defibrillator had been implanted to address an irregular heart beat and pulse rate a little over a year prior to the incident. He says that he hopes no one else has to go through the pain and agony that he experienced because of the fractured lead, and that Medtronic is held responsible for the injuries they cause to patients like him.
