David D. Bonnema MD
Bonnema’s Unnecessary ICD Surgeries at Trinity Health Muskegon
In November 2024, a news story revealed that Trinity Health Muskegon allegedly fired a whistleblower for reporting the malpractice of another cardiologist.
The cardiologist, Daniel West MD, alleges that he discovered that his partner David D. Bonnema MD was deliberately misinterpreting heart test results for years and wrongly telling patients they needed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that they did not need.
The whistleblower alleges Dr. Bonnema was misrepresenting heart test results to create the false necessity for ICD surgery. Surgical placement of unnecessary ICD devices injures patients by putting wires inside of their heart and crucial blood vessels, subjecting them to the risk of harmful shocks, and needlessly endangering them.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
Dr. Bonnema performed the unnecessary ICD surgeries at Trinity Health Hospital in Muskegon, Michigan.
Patients who had an ICD implanted by Dr. Bonnema should contact Buchanan Firm immediately to protect their legal rights before their right to compensation is lost forever.
