I have seen in healthcare more "bribery" than in any other industry I've ever worked. Whether quasi-legal in the shape of various kickbacks to outright illegal gifts of cash and goods. It is sadly endemic to the industry.
In part I think it happens more commonly because there is so much "other peoples money" in healthcare. Everyone is spending from someone elses checkbook and so transactions seem very distant.
