ASR

If they are not canned its game over for Depuy.

 

She is just one of the problems in marketing.....the whole JnJ credo makes me want to puke. I know that the prevailing sentiment is that all companies have recall's/issues etc but this seems to be an abject failure and dereliction of duty. If the powers that be are found to have engaged in active deception I hope theyare all shown the door without a golden parachute.

 

My sense is that they keep all three in place and blame others.

 

My opinion, the actions are criminal.

 

Miss JnJ will find out that the JnJ way, in situations like this, is that now that all the dirty laundry has been exposed, all the players will be left in place for a little while. However, slowly but surely, each of them will be moved into a new "assignment", off in a corner, where they are never heard from again. Orsinger is already getting his people ready. Kilburn has tee times booked because he knows he's going to have LOTS of free time coming up.

 

Looks like they are gonna let him keep digging that hole in court. Definitely the fall guy.

 

"Clear Communications" training has now been added to your to-do list on eUniversity.

Thank you.

The Management

 

LMFAO! A little late isn't it? Management telling the little people all about clear communication. I don't think the little people are the problem. I read the report that had clips of Bermans email to Kilburn. That's about as clear as it gets. Don't they see that when it appears that it's an attempt at ass covering no one takes these things serious? Upper Management are the ones who need to be trained. Combined with some time in a cell with Bubba.

 

We are corrupt as it gets in this industry. Those emails and the cover up are perfect examples of how we will lose business left and right soon. When corporate lies to the doctors they do not appreciate it and any company who comes along and points that out will get the business

 

What's funny is, it isn't a communication thing it's an ethical thing. Can't force someone to have ethics...

 

We are forever known as that, unethical.

 

As far as your competitors using is against you, we don't need to the surgeons are well read. I had seen nore heard any of the testimonies until my doc told me about it. He's hoping criminal charges are filed too.

 

I'm guessing this is from an insider. I'm sorry you feel this way about your company. I sincerely hope J&J does the right things moving forward. Sounds as if a few or more heads need to roll and many apologies made.

 

Floyd's a fucking idiot

This stuff is so good. The JNJ cover up is so deep and broad that anybody who ever looked at or was involved with ASR should be escorted out the door and walked right to jail. Kilburn and Ekdahl should rot in jail. The credo and all the publicity that JNJ wraps around it should be torn up, and all the goodwill JNJ holds up from 30 years ago and the Tylenol poisoning should be erased from history.

Scumbags.

 

Possibly a Mako buyout to help forget about this mess?

 

What is crazy is that Floyd is now running Stryker. Why wouldnt the Stryker tell him he is a liability and get rid of him? This guy was bad a Sulzer with that recall then on to jnj and now Stryker.

 

The ASR recall mess' hit on revenue has largely been covered up by J&J's acquisition of Synthes, a move that boosted operational orthopedics sales growth to an astounding 36.2% last year. The Synthes purchase was good timing by J&J, but if further scrutiny over the company's hip implants ends up in more recalls -- particularly if they involve products already on the market, such as the aforementioned Pinnacle -- watch out.

While the Pinnacle line of products covers a range of products, the metal-on-metal implants in that family will be under the gun in the near future. Even without a massive blow from recalls and litigation -- J&J has been tougher in fighting claims for the Pinnacle as compared to its settlements with many ASR suits -- expect doctors to continue to back away from metal-on-metal products. As of mid-2012, more than 150,000 patients had received a Pinnacle metal-on-metal implant, according to a report from Reuters.

 

JNJ is " family" company...they hit that one on the head. This is how this company feels about patients.

A New Jersey jury heard a readback of testimony by a woman who is suing Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)’s Ethicon unit over claims the company defectively designed her vaginal mesh implant and failed to warn her properly of the risks.
Jurors today reheard the testimony of Linda Gross, 47, a South Dakota nurse whose lawsuit is the first of 1,800 to go to trial over claims that Ethicon’s Gynecare Prolift injured women. The panel of six women and three men has deliberated for three days in state court in Atlantic City without a verdict.
Gross had 18 operations after her mesh was implanted on July 13, 2006, to shore up pelvic muscles. She said her life has changed dramatically for the worse. She said she is in constant pain and can no longer sit comfortably. She has prescriptions for 20 different medicines to help with her pelvic problems.
“Who you see standing here now is not who I was,” Gross told jurors on Jan. 31 in testimony read by a court reporter from a transcript. “I was eager and energetic, loved to go to work, loved to participate in church activities, school activities.”
J&J, the world’s biggest seller of health-care products, claims the Prolift is safe and effective, and it warned of the risks. In August, J&J stopped selling four mesh devices in the U.S., including the Prolift. The company, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, said in June that it would end sales worldwide because of the products’ lack of commercial viability, and not based on their safety and effectiveness.

 

The read back is being used to determine damages. UhOh
