Grassley's Letter to Medtronic

Here is the letter to Medtronic seeking more information about payments to doctors from the medical device company. Senator Grassley was following up on a recent article in the Wall Street Journal which describes a lawsuit brought by a former Medtronic lawyer. The lawsuit alleges that surgeons received a wide variety of kickbacks, including entertainment at a Memphis strip club, royalties on patents that the surgeons did not have a part in developing and trips to Alaska.
