Yes, fellow bloggers, TSB is alive and well. It's been an entertaining yet pathetic week and a half on this blog in lieu of the drums that some of our readers insist on beating. TSB intends to censor as much as possible. For the three plus years that we have been reporting about the medical device industry, we have never been as fixated on crucifying the industry for its short-comings as have a few of our readers. In spite of those that believe that TSB only writes about the negative, we believe that there are many people in this industry that deliver exceptional medicine and care to their patients. That there are many sales people that get up everyday and do the best they can. That there are a few executives that really would like to do the right thing. As usual its, the 20% that ruin it for the rest of us. We do not need to be reminded that there are many things wrong, but there are many things that are done with the best of intent. It's called checks and balances. Yet, the last few weeks have been educational to say the least. Today's breaking news continues to validate the many things that need to be eradicated from within the healthcare industry. The delivery of healthcare has become such a big business with so many nefarious players, is it a wonder that today's story about a former CEO of "The" Hospital for Special Surgery, the mecca for Orthopedics, cast dispersions and a black cloud over the creme de la creme of hospitals?
On Wednesday, September 26th, 2012, John Reynolds a former CEO of New York Hospital for Special Surgery was arrested at his home in Cataumet, Massachusetts and charged in federal court with racketeering and making false statements. These charges are punishable by 25 years, which would mean that if Mssr. Reynolds is convicted of all of the charges he will have to serve at least 20 years in the big house. Mssr. Reynolds served as the Chief Financial Officer from 1986 through 1997, and was CEO from 1997 through 2006.
Prosecutors allege that Mssr. Reynolds was engaged in a decade long kick back scheme that solicited money from vendors, a hospital employee, and a UK based healthcare organization. Obviously Mssr. Reynolds attorney was quoted as saying that these allegations are baseless and that Reynolds looks forward to his day in court. But isn't this the typical tactic by all attorneys? Everything is baseless until discovery proves that there may be sufficient evidence for conviction. And then what does it say about how business has been done in the past, the present, and potentially the future at a facility like Special Surgery. Have we stooped so low that some surgeons actually demand a payment from a rep to make a sales pitch on his product? Do we now have to deal with hospital administrators shaking down company reps for an opportunity to sell their products in a free market? TSB can't wait for all those free-marketeers to defend these actions. But let's be honest, if the federalis didn't have evidence that they believed that they could win a conviction, would they even bother with Mssr. Reynolds?
TSB's money is with the feds. Mssr. Reynold's is entitled to his day in court, but if TSB is gambling with my money, my bet is plea deal after all is said and done. What do our readers think?
Too many MILD procedures?
ReplyDeleteStryker strikes again only it's worse this time! Their latest batch of victims, the Cervicore victims, were injured even more grievously than the hip implant victims and there was even more criminality involved. CerviCore is an artificial disk implant meant for implantation into the cervical spine. Not only is it a metal shedding Frankenstein design like the Stryker hip implants, the Cervicore disk never received FDA approval for use in patients. It gets worse, the Cervicore disk never even received FDA approval to be used in clinical trials or IDE (Investigational Device Exemption). The Cervicore disk is such a piece of shit that it could not even get and IDE from the FDA but that didn't stop Stryker's doctors from implanting them in the spine of patients.
DeleteCurrently the is a class action lawsuit being filed against Stryker Medical.

Everyone's money is with the feds. We have no choice.
ReplyDeleteFederal prosecutors hate to lose. They rarely do.
ReplyDeleteReynolds is entitled to the presumption of innocence, of course. But do the charges surprise me? No, they do not. Not because I've ever heard of Reynolds before this, but because there is corruption in Casablanca. No water, but plenty of corruption. Everyone knows it.
It's like trying to stop a river, but kudos to the Feds for doing this, frankly.
If the allegations are true, this may be a wake up call to the administrators around the country that pursue these deals.
ReplyDeleteI have always been curious about the reimbursement programs some of the companies and hospitals push for. From my very limited understanding of these deals, if the hospital uses X amount of company A's product, they will get a reimbursement check at the end of the year. I know Surgery Centers that push very hard for those deals. Although, I believe the Surgery Centers in my area are reimbursed from the insurance companies as cost +X. So a big reimbursement check at the end of the year would be straight profit. Again, I am definitely not an expert on these, as my company does not do them.

ReplyDeleteIf you Google John Reynolds you will find a lot more information. This is not the first serious scrape he has had with the law involving bribes and kickbacks and the like.
The NY Times reported: "A former chief executive of the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan has been charged with receiving about $1.4 million in illegal payments in an extortion and kickback scheme carried out between 1996 and 2007, according to an indictment unsealed Wednesday in Federal District Court in Manhattan."
The indictment accuses Mr. Reynolds of setting up a consulting firm that he used to solicit payments from two vendors that provided medical billing services, and said that he had made it clear that he would, in return, obtain hospital business for them; he received about $420,000 from the vendors, the charges say.
He is also charged with extorting about $300,000 from a hospital employee for whom he had arranged an annual bonus, after the employee successfully mediated a royalty dispute between the hospital and an outside firm."

Globus Medical Announces Its First PMA Approval for the SECURE®-C Cervical Artificial Disc
ReplyDeleteOverall success results from the IDE study demonstrate statistical superiority of SECURE®-C compared to fusion at 24 months (Randomized patients: 90.1% SECURE®-C vs. 71.1% ACDF). Overall success criteria were at least 25% improvement in pain and disability using the Neck Disability Index (NDI), no subsequent surgery at the index level, no device-related complications, and fusion for ACDF control at 24 months. Additional overall success criteria, as defined by FDA, were a 15 point improvement in NDI, maintenance or improvement in neurologic status, no subsequent surgery at the index level, no device-related adverse events, and no change in treatment, at 24 months, and SECURE®-C demonstrated statistical superiority using this criteria (Randomized patients: 83.8% SECURE®-C vs. 73.2% ACDF). Subsequent surgery at the index level, device-related adverse event rates, and patient satisfaction for SECURE®-C were also shown to be statistically superior to the control group. In addition, the rate of adjacent level surgery was numerically lower for SECURE®-C than ACDF. Complete information will be available in the SECURE®-C PMA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (P100003) at www.fda.gov.

The problem with these studies is that the company who makes the devices fund the studies. Can anyone say CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
The design is intended to allow unlimited axial rotation. That is not a good thing. Biochemically, unlimited segmental axial rotation is a recipe for disaster. When the other segments stop the Secure C will keep moving until the come to a sudden stop.

ReplyDeleteU can show superiority in an equivalency study
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you call up your local FDA representative and let him/her know your plan on taking an equivalency study to a surgeon and explain how this study shows superiority. Let all of us know how that goes for you.
ReplyDeleteA surgeon may read an equivalency study and own their own deduce from the information the device is superior, but you CAN NOT MAKE THAT STATEMENT OR ASSERTION.
LEARN YOUR FACTS BEFORE VOMITING YOUR IGNORANCE ONTO YOUR SHOES!
Idiot.
Actually, if the study was powered and a priori specified for superiority or if accounting for multiplicity adjustment in a non a priori manner, a non-inferiority or equivalency study can, in fact, make superiority claims. But, beware because the boundaries are tight.

motion preservation is growing more than everything else by far. i think everyone would be suprised to know how big the prodisc franchise in the USA for synthes.

ReplyDeleteGlobus is just hoping to get a piece of the Arthroplasty action since they are losing their asses in ACDF cases.

Again, IMO, unconstrained ADRs are more troublesome than a fusion in most cervical cases. Let's face it, our outcomes in the US are embarrassing compared to the rest of the world. We are every bit as capable as the guy like Ritter-Lang and the late Nick Boeree. Our outcomes would be as good if we had better tools.

In 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Normally, the way we treat cancer is with some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In my case because of the metastasis it was also not the best option for me. The lump in my breast was too large for a lumpectomy and I opted not to have a mastectomy doctors told me to increase my vitamin D level because this helps cancer patients in a variety of ways. Initially I took vitamin D supplements, but trust me it was not getting any better so I came online to see if there was any possible way I could fight this disease . I saw a lot of testimonies of how Dr Ohikhobo cures Cancer and all kinds of diseases with natural herbs so I decided to give it a try. I contacted him to see if it was possible for him to help me get rid of this disease. I was amazed by the results. After taking his natural herbs for just 21 days I got cured completely and my life is back to normal again. I will forever be grateful to Dr Ohikhobo. Below is his Contact info for me. I believe there is no disease this man can't cure.
