Medical doctors do not get direct compensation from drug companies for drugs that they prescribe but they receive gifts and bonuses.

Yea, some doctors get money, trips and other perks for using certain meds. You don't think pharmacutical companies are getting rich for nothing, do you? They offer perks to get the docs to use the meds which gains more money for those companies. One hands washing the other. Some doctors refuse and wind up being treated unfairly. The companies simply make them "pay" for their samples. Pretty unfair!

yes it's scary. I work at a nursing facility and a Dr. has stock in clinetron beds (cost 100 a day) Guess what everybody has scripts for when they come??? Yep, you guessed it....he's the only Dr. that uses the things.

IDK. But I heard, Comedian, Jackie Mason say. "You know why you can't read those prescriptions? It's written in Latin. It just says, 'I got mine? You get yours'"
