>80% of their business is bought by using sleazy methods. Consulting deals, hiring the son of a prominent surgeon as a rep, enriching surgeons through dubious nerve monitoring schemes, etc. The DOJ/OIG will have a field day with these clowns.
Dont be too hard on Roger. The strategy from JR seems to be - surround himself with unqualified and classless AVP's (and DOS) for that matter. Insures his position is protected and builds tremendous loyalty, as no one has the ability or managerial skills to question his ineptness.
Oh yea, mr vmi is still going strong even though he knows less about spine then my 4 yr old son. Whatever you do, keep him away from your surgeons - bad for business. Most inside think he's weaker than yapp.
A Federal Court Case is being filed soon. That's why the chickens are fleeing the chicken coop. Even if the Case Filer wins, there won't be anything there to seize...people will have fled. Any good patents they hold will be sold off soon.
""The DOJ/OIG will have a field day with these clowns."" No they won't. The FDA allowed this all to happen....Federally Endorsed. DOJ/OIG won't do SQUAT. They actually want these types of schemes to create jobs and generate revenue...even if it kills people. The "landmark" case against Pfizer for $2.3 Billion over Bextra....just people passing money between themselves. They knew Bextra was killing people...saved the Federal Government lots of $$$ paying those folks SS/Medicare. The Medical Mafia is Federally Endorsed. The real money is in killing Americans. It's ok....Obama's giving +1 million foreigners new US citizenship every year....you can be replaced.
Is this the same sketchy Roger Yapp who is basically a lying criminal after his years at JNJ?? Obviously some idiot at Nuvasive didn't do his due diligence... Maybe his buddies in Vegas got him the job after they got out of prison
Nuvasive is crushing it in Chicago! Mass exodus from Medtronic - several talented sales reps are now with NUVA .
