It is amazing that this form of corruption is legal

I am glad Germany just passed stricter rules against corruption in this field.

Even though it is natural to see corruption in any human interaction (and therefore can be expected), it still feels slightly scary to be reminded that it also takes place in the health sector.

Thanks for posting.

I ran my doctors and a few friends.

My finding was they make less than I thought. For example my GP makes a few hundred but he pushes like a dope peddler. Really sleazy Doctor. I was expecting him to get six figures given the way he acts. He's either crazy working for a few hundred or he cheats the game somehow.

Then my personal friend who is a boyscout comes out really high. Maybe he's too honest with his reporting? The guy gets thousands from big pharma.

I can't remember my doctor's name.
