Well, I'm happy to know that my psychiatrist took only $177 from drug companies. Maybe this is why he has always been reluctant to prescribe new drugs under patent that are essentially the same as older drugs off patent. The NYT had an article today about a study that found docs are more likely to prescribe expensive patented drugs when they received money/gifts from drug companies and the higher the value received, the more likely they were to prescribe expensive drugs.
