wonderful things, they are in it to make a profit for themselves and their shareholders. Money is always the bottom line! The drugs are just a way to get there. Time was once, nothing was ever put on the bottle given the patient. "Take one three time a day was all a patient was told. Then the rules changed. Not only did a patient have the right to know what he or she was taking, but what the side effects were. And so, to continue to make money, particularly with a drug a company had to spend a awfully long time developing, they have very often been caught in lies. Vioxx was one.

And kickbacks to docs are still legal, albeit "for services rendered.
