But, nobody beats the fellow selling the instrument/device/drug. They make out like bandits with a gross margin of greater than 90% on every single item they produce.

Imagine if you could get a 90% gross margin on a new house.
I know first hand of an uneducated Arthroscopic device salesperson that made more money than the guy who actually invented the surgery....that is no BS, 100% for real. Think about how many people benefited by the doc's efforts.
