Here is one page in Smith & Nephews code of ethics-
“We will never use improper methods to influence medical practitioners and institutions to use our products. “
I wonder if they forgot the fines they paid for kickbacks, and why they are being sued by the United States of America on a whistleblower case presently???
Also I wonder what ever happened to the investigation the Federal Government was conducting re: PODS ?? ( This was another means of kickback payments )
You could own a percent of a POD or the entire POD, funds would be supplied to the POD and then dispersed according to the percentage one owned.
Several months ago I spoke to my orthopedic surgeon about PODS and if he were involved. He responded funny I should ask a short time ago he was approached regarding involvement, he told me he didn’t like the smell of the POD at all and he refused to express any interest.
Suggestion for Smith & Nephew they may wish to update their ethics and principles of integrity, honesty and professionalism and pay more attention to the malfunction of their metal on metal hip devices and how Smith & Nephew can help those that they have hurt. Perhaps I missed that chapter.
Respectfully
Howard Sadwin

Hello Betty, I too am a Smith and Nephew Metal on metal hip implant victim, and there are few lawyers taking anything other than the S&N recall cases involving their failed R3 metal acetabular liner. That said, if you are in the US you should call Ben Gordon at (888) 435-7001. Ben does not wish to advertise on this site, and I have given you his name of my own free will, knowing he and his firm — Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Rafferty & Proctor, P.A. — need not advertise. But I know they are good and honest people, committed to helping all Smith and Nephew metal on metal (MoM) victims. Give him a call if you are in the states.
The fortress that protects Smith and Nephew is beginning to crumble, and cracks are starting to appear all around it.
Best of luck to you, and if I may quote Winston Churchill, “Never, Never, Never Quit!
