JAMA says doctors should stop accepting bribes from drug companies

Here is an interesting article about the current bribing of doctors and the control exercised by drug companies over the medical profession: JAMA says doctors should stop accepting bribes from drug companies.

One thing to be aware of: the number of people killed by drugs (due to side-effects, mis-prescriptions, etc.) is much higher than the mere 60,000 quoted for deaths from Vioxx. For full details see the article: Death by Medicine.
