On Drug Reps

A fascinating piece here by a pyschiatrist who was paid by a drug company to give talks to GPs, and who ultimately realised that what he was doing was ethically dubious.

It's an interesting issue in general, really; drug companies in some cases entertain doctors rather lavishly, and have them listen to a talk about a drug. I'm unclear as to just how ethically acceptable the whole thing is.

Well worth reading.
