KC shares some of the blame.  He did do what he was told but was more than happy to gut the company of legacy Synthes people he didn't like or trust.  It just so happens most of them know more about the business and have far more and better surgeon relationships than him.  All this did was precipitate the sales decline and unravel Synthes' influence over influential surgeons.  Many of those docs are now consultants with Stryker, S&N and now Globus.  Getting some of the old gang back will not undue their consulting agreements.  Surgeons like reps have moved on.  KC leads like a bar bouncer (he looks like one too) and now wants the very people he exited to come back and try to save the company from the free fall in which it currently finds itself.
