Virtually guaranteed that some doctors accept kickbacks, or interpret 'perks' as kickbacks. Unknown how likely it is that your doctor is one of them.

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.
