When somene else pays doctors legally not to Rx their drugs to save money for health care system it is not OK. How interesting. An example of paying the docs: " Doctor I can offer you $5000-25.000 for any special project you have including paying for your secretary, if you agree to Rx our drug in amount equal or larger then 3-5 times the amount you take for the project. All you have to do give me a verbal agreement for this and we'll arange the funds. What do you say, doc?" True story of bribery by one of the biggest and most successful companies. By the way, the drug in question has become No 1 seller in the class worldwide. This was only one of the many payoffs used.
