How Much is Your Doctor Getting From Big Pharma?

Here's a link to a website which lists doctors across the country who receive over $100,000 in payments from pharmaceutical companies. This is one step toward greater transparency and allowing the patient to make better informed decisions about his/her care.

I'm not saying the doctors on this list are incentivized to push certain drugs over another. I am saying that making this information available to the public is very useful for the patient.
