Hip Implant’s Risks Inadequately Assessed, DePuy Report Found in 2010 - NYTimes.com

Hip Implant’s Risks Inadequately Assessed, DePuy Report Found in 2010 - NYTimes.com:

A review conducted internally by Johnson & Johnson soon after it recalled a troubled hip implant found that the company had not adequately assessed the device’s potential risks before it was used in more than 90,000 patients, court testimony on Thursday showed.
The engineering report, which was done in 2010, also found that Johnson & Johnson’s orthopedic unit had used inadequate or incorrect standards in trying to assess some of those risks before first selling the implant in 2003. The device at issue — the Articular Surface Replacement, or A.S.R. — proved to be among the most flawed orthopedic devices sold in recent decades.

  1. Technical skills are great to have, but can also be taught... I would rather invest time in someone who has the other professional proofreading than a "super-tech" who has a bad attitude and a sense of entitlement.
