Reject drug industry perks, doctors urged - JSOnline

Reject drug industry perks, doctors urged - JSOnline
"With the integrity of the medical field at stake, the influential Institute of Medicine said financial deals between the drug industry and doctors, medical schools and the medical profession need to be restricted.

The institute's sweeping recommendations call on medical professionals — from university professors to family doctors — to shun financial arrangements with companies that flourished over the past three decades."
Also, note the side bar list of past articles about the conflict of interest issues.
Now, in addition to stopping this drug trade business with docs, I sure hope Congress will outlaw those drug ads on TV.
