Again, I replied to a post about docs getting “kickbacks” from pharma for writing 3 scripts. “Kickbacks”are illegal. I’m in a group chat with a few docs. Some are hospitalists & some are private practice. They laughed & said where do I get my cash kickback?We aren't limited to just hospitalists that you talk to. Let's stay on track here instead of moving the goalposts too. Do doctors get compensation for writing scripts? Yes. It's been proven. Let's also not be obtuse and be shocked that they don't admit it too LOL.
Gifts, Travel, food, fees...... it's all happening. This stuff is legal, but it is what it is..... incentive based compensation.
Thats pretty much it. Now, you can go into a different discussion about how pharma legally compensates docs for speaking, etc. But that’s not what I was replying to.
