John, apparently 'non emergency elective surgery' is quite the racket here in the US. I've been reading multiple articles about most of the major firms making the 'parts' like hips/knees paying out millions in fines to the Feds because they are basically 'paying off' surgeons to use their stuff. These would be firms like Stryker, Zimmer, and Biomet.
