I agree Bill. But it is explainable. It is, because on the day I went on holidays, I got a signal from someone who pointed me to an article in De Volkskrant, one of the better papers in the Netherlands. This article highlighted the relation between pharmacy and doctors. It published a list of rheumatologists, dermatologists etc. Who were receiving money from pharmaceutical companies. For this money they were doing presentations, visited seminars, meetings etcetera. Anyway, because of this relations you cannot expect doctors to be objective anymore, this will always will create some link, some dependency if you accept the money. In between this list was the leading dermatologist in the Netherlands who received € 26.000 a year. This made me a bit cynical.
