Scandals, recalls, stingy customers, anxious regulators--any one of these would traumatise a chief executive. America's industry for medical devices is suffering from all of them. Omar Ishrak, the new boss of Medtronic, the world's biggest medical-technology company, recently described the problem succinctly to analysts: There is a lot of work ahead of us. This is a relatively new ailment for the industry. America's new health-care law includes a 2.3% tax on medical devices, but this is trivial compared with other shifts. Health plans are forcing patients to pay a larger share of costs, so those who do not need a device urgently are slow to buy them.
