More Corporate Medical Greed! Medtronics Fraud, Crime and Kickbacks


You probably think that the most criminal and deadly part of the medical industry is big pharma and you are probably thinking right but you may be wrong.

Enter the pigs from Medtroncs. Located at 7000 Central Avenue Northeast Fridley, MN 55432 Medtronic continues to break the law and kill and maim Americans. Medtronics level of sleaze is huge even by greedy American medical standards.

In 2011 Medtronics was fined $23.5 million for paying illegal kickbacks to physicians who participated in clinical studies and device registries to induce doctors to implant the company's pacemakers and defibrillators. Medtronic settles U.S. probe over doctor kickbacks | Reuters

(Reuters) - Medtronic Inc has agreed to pay $23.5 million to settle allegations that it paid kickbacks to doctors to encourage them to use its pacemakers and defibrillators

If you are a heart patient and your doctor uses Medtronics products your doctor should be executed along with executives at Medtronics. Luckily for them they live in the USA where fraudsters are rewarded. If they were in China they'd be killed. China has the right idea.

How Medtronics and its Vendors/Doctors Kill and Maim

Medtronics is like one of those criminals you hear about who just can't seem to stop committing crimes. Keeping with their criminal pedigree, Medtronics fraudulently sold the deadly Infuse bone morphogenic protein for off label uses in spite of numerous warnings from the FDA. It gets worse. During clinical trials for Infuse, Medtronics bribed 100 participating doctors and orthopedic practices to lie to the FDA about the safety and efficacy of Infuse.
