		<description>"&lt;i&gt;We like the fact you can search the Pfizer site by an individual name, but on the other hand, from the point of view of someone researching this information, you’d like to be able to download a spreadsheet or access a database&lt;/i&gt;"

This capability will be available very soon.  Here's a start: &lt;a href="http://blog.pharmaconduct.org/2010/04/which-doctors-received-highest.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Which Doctors Received the Highest Compensation from Pfizer During the Second Half of 2009?&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://blog.pharmaconduct.org/2010/04/two-harvard-cardiologists-top-pfizers.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Two Harvard Cardiologists Top Pfizer's Travel List for 2009 Q3-Q4&lt;/a&gt;

After pondering how Pfizer could have spent almost $28,000 in travel expenses over 6 months for Dr. Libby, I had a "flash of genius."  I bet that he got to ride on the Pfizer party jet.

		<description>Great interview!

Coukell's reply -- contrasting Pfizer's more complete disclosure regimens, with the waifish ones Merck follows -- lept out at me.

This is &lt;a href="http://shearlingsplowed.blogspot.com/2010/04/turns-out-that-sen-grassley-was-right.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Exhibit A for the proposition&lt;/a&gt; that so-called "&lt;i&gt;voluntary disclosures&lt;/i&gt;" were more to mollify legislators, than actually enlighten the consuming public, in any appreciable fashion. Good work, Ed!

And it is a good thing the bill passed. [Recall, in early 2008, that legacy Schering-Plough (now renamed New Merck) said its anemic proposed voluntary disclosures obviated the need for a more rigorous piece of sunshine legislation.]

		<description>This was not pfizer's choice. They are 3 time convicted criminals.

neurontin (2004) &#38; Bextra (2009). 

Here is Pfizer's screening for vendors

https://contractor.pfizer.com/docs/Pre-Qualification%20Criminal%20Background%20Check%20Rev%20Dec5.pdf


Disqualifying Offenses
Felonies
- All felony convictions within the last seven (7) years except as restricted by applicable
federal, state and local laws.
- All felony drug convictions (no time limit) where the individuals former position, or the
Pfizer project to which the individual is being considered for placement, involve handling of pharmaceutical in any capacity.

They violate this every day because they knowingly do business with their own convicted subsidiaries.</description>

		<description>This might be a silly question, but it appears that this is for payments to an individual or to a teaching hospital,  does it also include physicians that have incorporated and have a corporate name or number?</description>
