Randy Clark, MD from Coral Desert Orthopedics in St. George Utah narrates a video demonstration of calcium removal from a rotator cuff. He is an orthopedic surgeon who has sports medicine/arthroscopic fellowship training. Dr. Clark has a particular interest in minimally invasive shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle tendon and ligament reconstruction.
Dr. Samin Sharma, a leading interventional cardiologist at The Mount Sinai Hospital, is the first in the world to use the newly U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved device for the treatment of severely calcified coronary arteries before the placement of a cardiac stent to open a blocked artery. This video shows Dr. Sharma performing the first procedure in the world using the new technology inside the Cardiac Cath Lab at Mount Sinai Heart. The new device is called the Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System. It’s spinning electrically powered 1.25 mm diamond-coated crown is located on a thin cardiac catheterization guide wire and works within seconds to reduce the amount of hard calcium buildup in a coronary artery. The small calcium particles sanded from the artery’s wall are then naturally discarded from the heart and the body. The atherectomy system made by Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. was just FDA approved on Oct. 21. It is the first new coronary atherectomy system in more than two decades. Video Rating: / 5

Just after he was offered a job at Purdue Pharma, Michael Andersen was watching the news with his wife when a report came on. It was about abuse of Purdue’s pain pill OxyContin, the product he would be convincing doctors to prescribe to their patients at his new gig.
“So we had to think about that,” he told VICE News. “I mean, is this really what we want to do?”
Ultimately, Andersen not only took the job at Purdue, but he went on to be one of the company’s most productive employees. He even received an award for Salesman of the Year in 2008. For a time, that netted him large bonuses from the company.
