The amount of $$ sloshing around the pharmaceutical arm of the "Health Care System" (cough cough)....courtesy of the Pharmaceutical industry is truly staggering.
Maybe not as much or as covert as 15 years ago...but by how much less ?
MD's at lectures now seem to list 5-6 "conflicts" (with Rx companies)
That was never the case prior...
What sort of/how much ($$) conflict ??
Unknown.
Was it only 10 years ago that we found out that for ? 20 years they had been  bribing pharmacies (nationwide) to selectively prescribe certain (generic) drugs over other companies brands...substituting generic for Brand Rx...
etc etc
You could probably write 10 books here,but why bother...??
Easier to just join the Canadian gravy train....run a Shoppers,work for Health Canada or Smith Kline etc.
