64% of us want to know if our doctors are being paid to push pills by big pharma, according to a new survey by the prescription project. 68% of us support legislation that would require big pharma to disclose payments & perks to doctors.
we've got a better (for us) idea: why not just ban the payments & perks altogether? then doctors would have to choose medications and treatments based entirely on their relative merits for the patient.
(we realize that presenting patient treatment as the main goal of a medical practice - as opposed to generating revenue - is heresy in some parts, but what do you think?)
