I have to say, I feel a lot better about us. A lot of rad oncs do a lot of things that are controversial, but what the spine guys/gals do is on a completely different level. There is a physician mentioned that got $27 million in 6 years from Medtronics in royalties, and got $13 million in the first 3 quarters of this year. Many of the surgeons were getting >$1 million per year from the manufacturers.
I think the point is that we all have to be better. We really do.
