*Netflix’s  <https://www.netflix.com/title/80170862>The Bleeding Edge
<https://www.netflix.com/title/80170862>*, a documentary released last
month, is primarily about the poor testing of many medical devices on the
market, but it nonetheless also functions as an indictment of carelessness
toward women’s health at the regulatory-body level.

I wondered if the phrase is on the upswing in articles and books and did a
search to the present on Google's N--Gram. Interesting:
