Exposed: The Rotten Core of Big Pharma’s Orthopedics Racket – Profits Over Patients, Lives Be Damned

Article is under the post… MUCH info you need to see


Gardiner Harris “Orthopedic Surgeons Will Choose Devices Based On Their Payouts & Bonuses…Not Patient Outcomes.” “You Must Have An Advocate With You At The Hospital At All Times…” “Death by Doctor” is the 3rd leading cause of death in the America. A complete Iatrogenic death. Improperly Prescribed Drugs, Medical Malpractice & Surgical Errors Kill People Every Single Day. In 2016, There Were 250,000 Deaths From Medical Error. Current Medical Error Deaths Have Risen To 440,000 Per Year. That is more than 1,200 fatalities every single day in hospital settings.

If you or a loved one is admitted to the hospital, it is imperative that someone is there at all times. Family should organize & stay in shifts around the clock in order to protect their health & very life. Being in the hospital makes that person in their most vulnerable position. Medicines, procedures & treatments can be ordered & given without the patient’s consent. And when family leaves visiting hours, the patient is alone & defenseless against a ‘sick care system’ not looking out for the best interest of you or your loved one. Specifically For Orthopedics & The Dangers Therein: Orthopedic surgeons receive the highest compensation from the medical device industry compared to other specialties. Critics & government officials have expressed concerns that these payments influence medical decisions, leading to unnecessary procedures or the use of specific devices, thereby inflating healthcare costs & endangering patients.

These payments can take various forms, including: Royalties & kick-backs for assisting in implant design. Speaker fees & all inclusive trips for promoting devices at medical conferences. Stock holdings in exchange for consulting work & choosing to use those implant & surgery devices exclusively. Federal laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, aim to curb illegal financial inducements, but it continues to go on everyday within Orthopedics: DePuy Synthes Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, settled allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by providing kickbacks to an orthopedic surgeon in exchange for using their products. Device maker Life Spine and two of its executives admitted to paying consulting fees to incentivize surgeons to use their implants. Southeast Orthopedic Specialists agreed to pay a settlement for falsely billing for services not properly supervised by a physician.

Patient safety is also a concern related to potential financial conflicts of interest. For example: A lawsuit was filed against a Florida device maker, Exactech. They offered “phony” consulting deals to surgeons who complained about defects in a knee implant, potentially silencing concerns that should have been reported to the FDA to protect the public. A Maryland spine surgeon is facing a lawsuit from patients claiming he implanted counterfeit hardware not approved by the FDA, after allegedly receiving substantial consulting fees from the device distributor.

Exposed: The Rotten Core of Big Pharma’s Orthopedics Racket – Profits Over Patients, Lives Be Damned

Wake up, America! If you thought the COVID scam was the pinnacle of medical corruption, think again. A viral X post from patriot @ValerieAnne1970 has blown the lid off the dirtiest secret in “healthcare”: orthopedics is by far the most corrupt branch of medicine, with oncology hot on its heels. In a chilling video clip, former New York Times reporter Gardiner Harris lays it bare: orthopedic surgeons are routinely bought off by device companies, choosing implants based on fat kickbacks and bonuses, not what’s best for you. “The choice of the device in your body is often determined by the amount of money one company will pay them,” Harris warns. And guess what? Recalls happen, but your doc might “forget” to tell you because it cuts into their gravy train.This isn’t some fringe conspiracy—it’s the establishment’s playbook for fleecing hardworking Americans while Big Pharma and their cronies in Washington laugh all the way to the bank. Harris, speaking at a wellness event, exposes how surgeons pocket royalties, speaker fees, and stock options for pushing specific devices. Patient outcomes?
Who cares when there’s a luxury trip to a medical conference on the line? The X post details real-world scandals: DePuy Synthes, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, settled for violating the False Claims Act by dishing out kickbacks to surgeons. Life Spine execs admitted to phony consulting fees to bribe docs into using their implants. Southeast Orthopedic Specialists paid up for bogus billing. And Exactech? They silenced surgeons complaining about defective knee implants with “phony” deals, potentially hiding dangers from the FDA. Conservatives have been sounding the alarm on this Deep State-backed racket for years. Remember when Trump called out Big Pharma’s corruption, only for Paul Ryan to defend their “premium support system”? Ryan picked a fight with the future president, whining that we shouldn’t “speak ill” of the drug giants gouging us. Trump knew the score: these vultures are protected by lobbyists and bureaucrats who prioritize profits over people. 
Now, with RFK Jr. at HHS, we’re finally seeing cracks in the facade—targeting the metabolic health crisis fueled by FDA coziness with Big Pharma and food lobbies. But orthopedics is just the tip of the scalpel. Harris ranks oncology second in corruption, where hospitals arbitrage cancer drugs at massive markups. Health systems buy them at 50% off via the 340B program, then bill insurers full price and pocket the difference—$54 billion a year in pure grift. Independent docs? They pay retail and get squeezed out. Private equity swoops in, buying clinics, replacing real doctors with cheap nurses and PAs, and churning biopsies and surgeries for profit. As @VigilantFox posted on X, they’re even exploiting dementia patients in nursing homes. Disgraceful! Oncologists writing guidelines for off-label cancer drugs rake in pharma cash—85% of them, according to hematologist @VPrasadMDMPH . It’s money laundering disguised as medicine.
And the body count? Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America, killing up to 440,000 people annually—more than 1,200 a day. That’s from improper drugs, malpractice, and surgical blunders in a system that treats you like a revenue stream. Fox News reported back in 2016 that errors rank behind only heart disease and cancer, yet the establishment does nothing. Why? Because admitting it would expose the fraud. A Johns Hopkins study confirmed it: misdiagnosis is rampant, and the feds fail to track superbug deaths from botched procedures. Newsmax highlighted how DEI policies in medicine could worsen this, prioritizing “equity” over competence—another liberal poison pill. Harris’s advice? You need a “Cerberus at the gate”—a fierce advocate with your loved one 24/7, asking tough questions. Studies show patients disliked by staff (the ones who push back) have the highest survival rates.
Don’t be “friends” with everybody, fight for your health! As @Patriot_Nonna , a former oncology nurse, shared on X: she quit after refusing the vax and seeing treatments driven by insurance kickbacks, not ethics. “Patients were dying because they weren’t being treated how they should have been.” Novant Health claimed nonprofit status while pocketing $6K per chemo run. This is the anti-establishment truth Big Pharma doesn’t want you to hear. Russell Brand’s interviews on Fox exposed Fauci’s family ties to the corruption, with NIH pocketing $1.4 billion in royalties. Whistleblowers reveal a profit machine where your obesity or diabetes is their payday—Ozempic as a “Band-Aid” while they ignore toxic food. Bernie Sanders howls at RFK Jr., but he’s the poster boy for Big Pharma enablers. Enough is enough. Under Trump, we can drain this swamp: ban kickbacks, enforce transparency, and prosecute the grifters. Support reformers like RFK Jr. who attack the root—systemic rot where you’re farmed for profit. Get an advocate, question everything, and seek alternatives outside the corrupt system. Your life depends on it. The reckoning is coming for these medical tyrants.
