Medtronic and S&N?

Is Medtronic planning on entering a bid to purchase Smith & Nephew?

 

where did you get this info? who are your sources?

 

No solid sources, just rumors at this point....trying to find out if there is any validity to it.

 

the merger would make sense for both sides. SNN reps would be delighted.

 

Reall makes sense? Why would mdt want to get into another ortho business??

 

they will have more to offer hospitals as a COMPLETE package, which could lower costs for hospitals, it's called consolidation.

hospitals are looking to streamline, this would be one step closer to achieving that.

 

They sure would. It would save them from being continuosly ass-reamed by GE douchebags towards 3-4% growth numbers.

 

Nice dude.
