Having seen grant money in action, all I can say is that where it comes from can have an influence.
This statement is not far from the truth. Despite what most people believe or want to believe a lot of what we and physicians here about a medication depends on the amount of resources allocated for its promotion. As the son of a clinical research physician and a med student I have witnessed first hand the pampering and catering that is given to physicians to push their product. I'm not saying that are medical institutions are corrupt, but a huge amount of resources used by pharmacuetical giants goes into the promotion of their medication.
