My mother told me 10 years ago, doctors and pharmacists get money from the Pharmaceutical companies. I honestly didnt believe her back then. I asked the pharm rep, and she admitted that some medical groups are making millions per year. The pharmaceutical company actually can track the prescription in a database, to see if the doctors and pharmacists "on their payroll" are issuing their brand, a competitors product, or a generic. If they dont meet their quota/ratio, the Doctors and Pharmacists have there kickback money slashed big time to teach them a lesson.
Corruption is now seen at all levels ... even at the local level of a family doctor.

It's reassuring to see more people are aware of this, interesting story
I remember with the Swine Flu vaccines they were getting paid per shot, but why would they need to be paid extra if it were so important? Some get sent on expensive golfing holidays if they prescribe enough of a certain brand
