Fairbanks serves as an expert witness for an ongoing medical device liability case (Johnson v. Medtronic), which alleges that defibrillator design contributed to an adverse event. However, remuneration is not based on outcome of the case, and parties involved with the case had no association with or involvement with the development of this editorial. Dr. Fairbanks is supported by a research training grant from the Emergency Medicine Patient Safety Foundation through the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. |
