According to the Guardian’s investigation, Surgisphere’s employees “have little or no data or scientific background,” and one employee, whose title appeared to be “science editor” is actually “a science fiction author and fantasy artist.” The company’s social media presence also raised red flags, with fewer than 100 followers and just six employees shown on their page. Their Twitter account was also suspiciously inactive and lacking in followers for a company that claims to “run one of the largest and fastest hospital databases in the world.” The company’s chief executive, Sapan Desai, has also been named in three medical malpractice lawsuits, unrelated to its database.
What a black mark that would be for the Lancet & the New England Journal of Medicine. Do they not do ANY vetting there?
