I wrote
last month about my diabetes diagnosis this year and my
difficult choice to wear a proprietary device (called a
CGM) on my arm 24/7
to continuously monitor my glucose levels. Like my friend and colleague,
Karen M. Sandler — who previously made a much higher-stakes choice to
receive a proprietary implanted defibrillator to keep her safe given her
genetic heart condition — I reluctantly chose to attach proprietary
hardware and software to my body.
This makes me think of Norton in fight club discussing recalls.
A times B times C equals X…If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.
The older I get, the more I understand (I mean, really understand) Tyler Durden. And I hate that this is so.
Edit. Put the parenthetical in the wrong place
Damn, I gotta watch that movie again.
You can only really see it once.
FDA mandates how recalls happen, pharmaceutical or medical device.
They have to have information.
