Arrow Who pays for Pizza ? article from the Brittish Medical Journal
Who pays for the pizza? Redefining the relationships between doctors and drug companies.
1: Entanglement
Ray Moynihan, journalist1

1 1312 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA raymond.moynihan@verizonnet


In this two part article, a journalist based in Washington DC explores the brewing conflicts at one of the world's leading medical campuses as it joins the wider global debate about how to redefine relations with big pharmaceutical companies


Twisted together like the snake and the staff, doctors and drug companies have become entangled in a web of interactions as controversial as they are ubiquitous (box). As national drug bills rise at rates that vastly exceed those of inflation (fig 1), this entanglement and the subsequent flows of money and influence are attracting increasing public and academic scrutiny.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
