DR's UNDER THE INFLUENCE - GREAT ARTICLE!!!

Worst of all, this excellent article even understates the problem. When you have sales reps conferring with doctors on how much they need to get their prescription rate up to get "comp"-ed to that conference in Hawaii, it's just pathetic. And -- as AstraZeneca's senior director for public policy* notes, "it's very effective."

* "Senior director for public policy"? Is Astra Zeneca a country now, with ministers and an army? Actually, John LeCarre, in "The Constant Gardener," argues that some multi-national pharmaceutical companies are more powerful than many countries and are able to operate outside the law of any single nation, including those of the United States.
