Not a bad start, but there is a long way to go. Maybe Big Pharma can get back to actually providing health benefits with real science instead of bribing doctors and hospitals. Isn't that how science is supposed to work anyway? At a minimum, consumers ought to have easy access to Big Pharma's interaction with doctors and hospitals. Papers and pens are a drop in the bucket compared to the juicy stuff that's thrown out there but it all needs to stop.
When a Duluth-based operator of hospitals and clinics purged the pens, notepads, coffee mugs and other promotional trinkets drug companies had given its doctors over the years, it took 20 shopping carts to haul the loot away.
The operator, SMDC Health System, intends to ship the 18,718 items to the west African nation of Cameroon.
