I have posted about ethics in the pharmaceutical industry, and I will continue to do so. It is consistently a hot issue with a varying degree of topics.
"Drug companies pay medical professionals for a wide range of activities, from speaking engagements to consulting. While legal, the practice raises questions about potential conflicts, and whether the interests of patients may be compromised." (Article) Though it is technically "legal," does that make it moral? I don't think so. Doctors should not be paid by pharma companies. If they truly believe in a medication and want to speak out about it, they should be doing that on their own time.
