> Have you seen how pharma reps treat doctors? I have. Hundreds of dollars worth of dinners/lunches (one of the dinners my gf and I were invited to, it served unlimited Wagyu beef for bbq; of course, we had to sign in before the dinner). I am disgusted by how cozy the relationship between pharma companies and docs are.
In France (and California), there's a website where you can see how much your doctor got from pharma.

- pickle-wizard 7y agoI checked my doctors on that a few months back. I found out that one of my doctors received $200K for the last reporting year from the manufacturer of my medication. The medication is $600/month. Granted the medication does work for me and insurance picks up most of it, but it still seems like a massive conflict of interest. I honestly have half a mind to switch doctors.
