I thought this article about doctors receiving kickbacks from companies was interesting, altough it may not necessarily apply to medicine, but makes me wonder if that could be happening too?

In its lawsuit, Millennium denied giving kickbacks or having a standing practice to retest negative drug samples. It accused Ameritox of a “smear campaign� and said the Baltimore based company was “notorious for engaging in fraudulent business practices to gain a competitive advantage.� In 2010, Ameritox paid $16.3 million in fines to the federal government to settle charges that it gave illegal kickbacks to doctors
