And if the doctor is getting kickbacks? I was prescribed a very expensive new drug that I couldn’t tolerate. Eliquis, Xarelto. Medical office went to absurd lengths to keep me on it rather then switching to a cheaper alternative. Too multiple ER visits to get them to switch. Kept calling me a liar for saying it had side effects. Realized later that they probably made money off it. Would love to know if true.

> Realized later that they probably made money off it. Would love to know if true. They probably didn't even make a lot of money. Although they paid $18.3 million to doctors in 2018, only nine doctors got over $100k. Are you in the US? By law, there has been a public database of all pharama dollars to doctors for a bit over a decade. It covers lunches and consulting fees and such. For 2018, ProPublica has a searchable database. Here's Xarelto's results. Edit: I just realized I forgot to paste in the link. I hope I edit this before you see it: https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/products/16510 https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/products/16510
