Better run faster then my bullet! All these lame as docs are pissedat us because they invested and or were consultants And now we are going to lose this injunction. I guess I better stop putting probes on patients.
It doesn't matter who puts the nerve probes on patients. That system doesn't work anyways. I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't filed a lawsuit claiming their Operation Game is where that California University got the idea for that nerve detection method which was patented by certain companies. If a surgeon has to hammer a plastic spacer down between two vertebrae there's going to be nerve damage. Plus they never used FDA approved Fixation to bolt the vertebrae together and that plastic spacer flopped around. I saw X-rays of a man who went to an Emergency Room complaining of back pain and that plastic spacer was in the mans intestines...came right out. There was nothing holding it there or him together. Where was the Fusion?
Nuvasive is still paying massive sums to people to "speak" for them. If it wasn't for Nuva still kickin', Nate "The Rock" Quarry would be homeless. (Anybody watch his Twitter feed saying he just did another public event for Nuvasive?) Nate Quarry may never make a come back. But as long as the nations special bailout manager keeps feeding money into Nuvasive...... The ship won't sink. You will never see the day when the Federal Government closes the money spigots to San Diego...which keeps it afloat. It's a means to line certain peoples pockets.
Orthopedic Design & Technology has an interesting article: http://www.odtmag.com/articles/2011/11/industry-news Doctors/Nurses won't touch Nuvasive's Nerve monitoring System and have been letting Nuva's sales guys put the probes on patients. Admission of guilt? Why aren't States doing anything about it? You can't even practice Acupuncture in Kentucky without a license. And that's not threatening someone's life.
Wow Stock is teetering at $11 a share. With +70 million Baby Boomers alone to operate on....why is Nuvasive doing so poorly? MedTronic is making BANK in Puerto Rico and abroad.....so why isn't Nuva?
Nuvasive has many issues with distributorships! The one in SC just folded! My reps in North Florida tell me that the distributorship there may be out soon too. Stay away from Nuvasive!
Yeah--SC is a direct sales force now. I hear the reps who stayed in SC are not happy. Nuvasive just lost four or five people in Atlanta. Medtronic is making a difference in getting rid of joke Nuvasive distributorships in the south.
National sales meeting is coming up. I cant wait to see all the phony Nuvasive people. I have been with them now for three years and it still sucks. I came from Medtronic and well the last time I checked we only have 55% of market in lateral. I think it is smaller now. Does anyone know the nimbers and are we going to be bought?
You should of not left Medtronic! Medtronic C'mon. Everybody has a big territory and they dont sell anything. You must of not gotten it done and then you go to NuVasive a company on the way out. What were you thinking? C'mon
I just returned from the NUVA sales meeting. It was boring as usual. I wish they had it in a fun place like Vegas so everyone could enjoy after such a boring meeting. This was my second one so I cant speak for the ones before but someone needs to step it up and reward those that do well instead of cheap leather jacket and trip that is really a business right off for NUVA. Give the guys and gals the money instead of wine.
Which does NUVA spend more money on? --NUVA sales meeting --paying Nate "The Rock" Quarry" to speak for them? Look up the numbers and get back with us. He recently just flew to San Diego to speak again. Although I don't know why, his XLIF hasn't gotten him back to work. I bet he's on some gooooood narcotics to keep going.
I recently sat next to him. He is a good dude! Nuvasive offered and he gave back what he can to the cause. Ok so he is not a very good fighter. He speaks well for a guy that likes to get crushed all the time. My suggestion to him is to ride it out and enjoy anything nuvasive can give you because they used your brawn and speaking ability to reach out to a lot of wanta bees at nuvasive meetings. Most nuvasive guys were last ones picked for pick up games so it is only fitting to have a guy like that talk to them. lol
