Why were the study authors not able to come up with a conclusion that’s actually based on reality instead of this gutless defense of their colleagues? This sounds like it was a basic YES or NO question. Surgeons who take money from industry in exchange for using their devices know perfectly well whether or not they’re taking the money. Disgusting.

Enough with the sarcasm already. Next time you need a broken bone set or a hip replaced, let’s see if you’re going to be such a smart ass right to your orthopod’s face.

I’m a new subscriber to your website – because I always learn something intriguing. Who knew, for example, that so many orthopedic surgeons don’t know how to read?

Thank you for this info – there is a wealth of interesting stuff on your site on so many marketing subjects.

So many facts clogging your brain that it can be hard to understand simple questions like “Did you or did you not take money from the drug/device industry?”

This is a very complex kind of question that can be impossible to answer truthfully. Give the poor orthopods a break, okay? 😉
