Holy Cow!

Pharmalot shows how much money some orthopedists got from the medical device industry:
Zimmer notched 21 payments greater than $1 million and DePuy made the biggest - more than $6.7 million to $6.75 million to Thomas Thornhill, who chairs the department of orthopedic surgery at Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston.
It's more than I ever imagined.

He adds links to the companies' disclosures as well.

    Most of these large payments are not "consulting" agreements, but royalty payments for intellectual property for the design of implants. Apples and oranges.
