Renal Denervation done


Yeah everyone calls Omar some kind of visionary but all that piece of sh*t did is capitalize on decisions/acquisitions made by his predecessors and then proceeded to line his pockets with his lapdog errand boy Geoff Martha. Horrible acquisition which basically destroyed both companies simultaneously, while enriching both Geoff and Omar and destroying shareholder value.

And now here we are with Geoff...a hockey player who had never been CEO before, who suddenly took over the largest device company in the world. And the results speak for themselves...

If only Wall Street and SEC had any balls, these idiots would be in jail.
 








I have been looking for 18 months. I’m a veteran in med device with multiple P clubs throughout my career and I have only found 1 or 2 decent jobs and even then they weren’t worth the jump. Guess what folks, there are not many good med device jobs out there. The big 4 have monopolized the market both with products and job opportunities, it is a sad state of affairs. I am now looking at leaving med device entirely within the next 2 years. This is what happens when companies cut costs to grow, it never works long term. It reminds me of the Arrested Development skit where Tobias and his wife are trying to decide if swinging would help their marriage. Tobias being a trained psychiatrist says that never works, but in our situation maybe it would. Well, that’s our board of directors, we know that this type of accounting never works long term, but maybe just maybe…. I believe it was Warren Buffett or his partner Charlie, who said…EBITDA is the devil of capitalism…we all should have listened. It’s over, anyone who thinks that the ole Medtronic of prior glory will ever re-emerge..it will not. Their will be some brief glimpses of greatness, but at the end of the day our leadership has been digging this hole since Omar came on board. Our board of directors signed a deal with the devil when they hired him and his chronies. They promised a sea of golden years, which they delivered for a while, and then it all came to a screeching hault. Omar pulled the parachute right before it all caught up, just like his mentor and our beloved friend, Neutron Jack. Speaking of the devil, I wonder how ole Neutron Jack is enjoying his time with the one who shall not be named.


Actually, whoever wrote this is dead on the money. EBITDA did kill Medtronic. Anyone who thinks differently either has their head in the sand or does not understand what is going on around them.

Geoff kept the ship aflote through a global pandemic - get a grip
 
























































Name a big medical company that didn’t make bank off of the pandemic. Biggest free money grab in history.
This is why I stopped voting. Both parties are responsible for this and it's crushing the life of every middle class American with the unprecedented crisis in housing availability, cost and the same can be said for food, vehicles etc.

Never forget and never vote until a candidate deserves it. For POTUS it's been decades since someone worthy was on the ballot.

Very very true, add on the evil empire of the large consulting firms and you hit it on the head.
 








Genuine question - What happened between the August split panel decision with the experts weighing in the benefit doesn’t outweigh the risk and the widely touted approval received this week?
