Eli Lilly to Publish Doctor Payments Online
The New York Times reports pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly will join Merck in posting all payments to outside doctors online. Eli Lilly decision comes on the heels of congressinal pressure for monitoring and reporting of these payments.
My favorite quote from the article comes from Dr. Paul S. Appelbaum, a Columbia University doctor, who said any doctor who believes "that disclosure is likely to be embarrassing should not be accepting the money in the first place.” Well said.
