Yeah, you did help. It got me disgusted. This was one of the better articles about this subject that I have read. Some of the stats and quotes were just about enough to consider firing several of my docs.
I especially liked the stat about Dr. Grimm having received more than $798,000 between '97 & '05, but by golly he did give a whopping $50,000 (during that same time frame) to the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation. Oh, and by the way, he says he is not biased. (ahem) Wow, generous. That only left him $748,000.
And the quote from Dr. Eric Storvick, "It beats talking to little old ladies about their bowels". Yeah, that's putting the interest of your patients first. Smarmy asshole.
