Drug companies pile on perks for doctors.

Is it unethical for physicians to accept?
By Robert Bazell

Dr. Arnold Kassanoff says the best gift he ever got from a drug company was a trip to Monaco for him and his wife in 1982.

"We were told in advance that there would be, you know, everything was covered except gambling,” says Kassanoff. “All your meals. No tipping allowed. Nothing. And just enjoy yourself.”

Of course it is unethical. But the drug companies took over the education of doctors a long time ago.

Most docs, although well meaning, have become little more than drug company salesmen.

Death by doctor is now the leading cause of death in the U.S.A. In the U.K it's 3rd, behind heart disease and cancer. Check this link out:

That was a good article that you linked. I have been saying it for years that some of the medications they try to give you are worse than what they supposedly cure. It is like drug companies do not care about health anymore they just care about how much money can they make.
