I would hesitate to say it is Surgeons who are the slimy ones, more of a 50/50 with manufactures and surgeons. We all know that every one of the companies out there do, relatively, the same deals. Just the other day I heard about Styker's "Young Lions" consultants and I know Medtronic has a similar "fresh out of fellowship, lets lock them into a consulting deal" game. I am not sure if DePuy/Synthes/Globus/NuVasive have a similar deal, but they are far from clean. Fortunately the surgeon who mentioned being offered one of the deals from Big Blue, has the game figured out well and wants no part in it.<br /><br />In the words of one of my favorite Black Keys songs:<br /><br />"Same Old Thing"<br /><br />It don't matter where you've been<br />The people try to do you in<br />Every day till dawn<br />There's some thievin' goin' on<br /><br />Oh, oh no<br />Hurt me soAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-81915735551959003022012-04-12T12:34:56.056-07:002012-04-12T12:34:56.056-07:00What, if anything, happens to the dirty doc and sl...What, if anything, happens to the dirty doc and slimy PA?

What is the difference? What about the surgeons? We all know that many if not most have their hands out wanting to get paid for doing no work. How many of you have lost legitimate business because some slimy rep managed to get your customer a consulting deal? The hard truth is that the surgeon are really the slimy ones urging industry to provide them with kickbacks for their business. Until surgeons are rightfully prosecuted for their crimes in PODs and consultant deals, the crocked business will go on. If this were prostitution, the surgeons would be the whores and the industry people are the johns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-53935927186293847862012-04-12T11:34:50.435-07:002012-04-12T11:34:50.435-07:00How many Orthofix VP's are being prosecuted?
