<br/><br/> "In his practice, Goodman refuses to meet with drug-company salespeople. He doesn't accept dinners or trips, won't take so much as a Post-It pad. He thinks it's corrupting. And privately many physicians agree with him, worrying that the doctor-patient relationship would be damaged if patients knew how pervasive gift-giving has become." (Philadelphia Inquirer) This article examines how drug companies are spending billions on gifts for doctors in an effort to influence what medicines they prescribe, a practice some say is corrupt and unethical.
