[projectvrm] Are there kickbacks between doctors and pharma companies?

[Johannes Ernst < >]

Pharma companies spend a lot of money sending sales reps to doctors offices 
(in the U.S.)

Other than singing and dancing how great the new pill is, and handing out 
free samples (neither of which I  have a problem with as a patient) how 
likely is it that he doctors get some kind of reward when prescribing the 
promoted product? (Something that would be a big problem for me as a patient)

0%? 100%? 

Somehow I've run into too many coincidences recently to believe in 
coincidences.

Apologies if this has been discussed before.
