He said he had a strong relationship with Nevro; that they \"paid me a lot of money\" as a consultant/speaker; but concluded the technology just \"doesn't work\" despite working \"hard with them to try to accomplish this.\" He expressed dismay at Nevro's ethics and ongoing \"smoke and mirrors\" – calling it \"crazy.\"",

They flew me all over the country to speak, paid me a lot of money, put me in first class which is unusual for consultants, so I didn't have any animosity towards them. It was just that the patient outcomes never showed up. I worked with them thinking their device was good stuff. I know how to do neuromodulation, so when Nevro's devices didn't work, I thought maybe there's a different way to change the program, change the location, do something different. I worked hard with them to try to accomplish this and I was beating my head against the wall because it just wasn't happening. I tried everything to make the devices work, as a scientist. I wanted to see where the problem was. When I looked at their data I was like, ok that's not what I got, am I doing something wrong? So I worked hard with them to rectify it, but there was nothing to rectify.\"",
