Really a quite simple concept actually. As far as the implicit capitalism bashing, it has produced the highest standard of living in the history of the world. You bitch about the greed and inefficiency of your big company but somehow fail to see the parallel to continually growing central government. They're both entities of individuals looking out for their own interests, not what's best for the whole. The MO of one is profit; the other is garnering votes. In both instances they will do what it takes to win. People who defend government as virtuous are as blind as those defending big business in the same manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-88598462282898679732012-06-29T20:57:00.884-07:002012-06-29T20:57:00.884-07:00Carl is awesome, don't you dare slander his na...Carl is awesome, don't you dare slander his name on the internet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-23145123604476070962012-06-29T20:54:53.624-07:002012-06-29T20:54:53.624-07:00only one dummy left to Stryker in nor cal. dummy.....only one dummy left to Stryker in nor cal. dummy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-66878885013024660652012-06-29T00:09:18.336-07:002012-06-29T00:09:18.336-07:00Is collateral damage can be applied on kugel mesh ...Is collateral damage can be applied on <a href="http://www.lawyersforclients.com/kugel-mesh-patch-2.html" rel="nofollow">kugel mesh lawsuit</a>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-64544617588182083432012-06-28T20:56:23.727-07:002012-06-28T20:56:23.727-07:00Have you heard about the one pot to pay for all fu...Have you heard about the one pot to pay for all functions within a territory?

I would like to say that I must admit that in most cases TSB has been dead on predicting what will happen with the future of our business. I'm most disturbed about the change in the people that are involved in spine sales. It started with the surgeons and trickled down all the way to the reps. This blog is very informative and I appreciate that. It has shown me how venomous people have become. I had hoped that things would get better but it is evident that they will not. I'm lucky that like so many on this site, I enjoyed the great times in the late 90's through the early 2000's. Got to make a good living and enjoyed work. Now, it makes me sick to get up and look at the scum that has polluted our business. What is happening with Depuy Synthes should be a wake up call to all of us out there. Go ahead with the BS and say "only the strong will survive." <br />The end is not near...IT IS HERE.

I have seen many good, solid, talented reps swept up in this mess and spit out the backside. Management has done nothing to make anyone feel like they are safe. Let's just face the harsh reality of it, though. The minute you start feeling safe in this industry will be your last. It doesn't matter who employs you. Deliver the number or hit the bricks, pal ! Just for one minute, I would like to hear the sound of no bitching. Imagine that. The sound of no bitching. "It isn't hard if you try". nobody upstairs cares if you're not happy. Life isn't fair.

They have since abandoned them due to multiple failures. Please dont tell me to identify myself and my location and suggest that I am a liar for not doing so. You know it's happening and I am not an idiot who's going to blow my chance with this group. It was a pure stroke of marketing and engineering genious on the part of Globus to come up with that cage. Still, the facts are the facts and the basic principles of spine surgery are as stern and immutable as the laws of physics - and you broke the law. Bone doesn't fuse to an empty peek cage.

MacMillan should feel right at home here. His predecessors are one doing time for murdering innocent people in unauthorized spinal surgeries. Maybe MacMillan will try to sell his MoM spinal discs that went nowhere during unauthorized clinical studies ( IDE never received FULL Approval and both studies (FlexiCore and CerviCore) to Johnson & Johnson for a second bite of the PMA apple. Or will MacNazi try to breath life into the Pro Disc? Whatever the outcome, there is no doubt that MacNazi is a perfect fit for J&J and birds of a feather....Philomenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514120963957626897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-85657540724785049082012-06-28T10:00:40.868-07:002012-06-28T10:00:40.868-07:00@8:01 fully agree.

Although, cutting the lumen of the graft by 50% would arguably provide a less ideal interbody fusion site. <br /><br />I think the argument with the expandable spacers is more of cost vs. effectiveness of fusion. If the cost increases exponentially without providing a more effective fusion, I would not see a large need of the product. As far as I see the devices it may save one or two trials at the cost of a smaller graft window and loss of tactile feedback. Not to mention the revision stories I have heard about these types of devices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-78450641779605810222012-06-28T07:44:20.953-07:002012-06-28T07:44:20.953-07:00The JnJ bean counters just eliminated my position ...The JnJ bean counters just eliminated my position after 15 months and re building the DePuy brand in my crappy territory and at great cost to me and my family.

All options are on the table, from signing bonuses, earned equity in the distributorship, higher commissions, etc. When you move to this model you become a businessmen and move from a sales rep. The pool is open and the water is great for the right people, who want to really build something for themselves, their family and business partners. The others will be like Joe Pesci in good fellas and never see it coming, until they see the plastic.<br /><br /> Another piece of advice to the D/S reps.
