Your Doctor Is Funded By Your Pharmaceuticals
Posted in Hot stuff, Life Lessons on February 23rd, 2010 by JoshEver wonder why doctors are so quick to prescribe you medication when you have a problem?
A recent article by Duff Wilson, in the New York Times – “Doctor Training Aided by Drug Industry” – might give a clue.
According to Duff, citing a recent journal article from the Archives of Internal Medicine:
More than half of the nation’s medical residency programs to train doctors in internal medicine accepted financial support from the drug industry, even though three-fourths of the programs’ directors said accepting the aid was “not desirable,” a survey found.
Surprised?
