Does your doctor get kickbacks? This site supposedly will tell you:

My GP: a whopping $14 for food and beverage. Bravo, Dr. B. I've been super-happy with your care, and this just makes me even happier.

When my primary care doc (in my old town) was booked, I used to go to another doctor closer to my house. I got a chance to shadow this alternate doc a few times and he had multiple drug reps in his office every time. I remember he talked about going on fishing trips or to parties and such with some of these guys. Free lunches and Starbucks on all but one of the days I was there. This site said he's #34 of 1500 for the state. Nice guy, but that dude clearly loves the game.

And those female drug reps, man.... SMOKIN hot. Turns out Scrubs wasn't that far off.

My specialist took in $413,000, mostly from public speaking. He's one of the best in his field in the state, and he's always the guy talking at the conferences, so I guess I'm happy about that.

That's a lotta scratch on top of his salary though. Whoooo-weee.

$229 over the course of 2 years isn't that bad. Besides, my doctor is awesome. She has the best patient manner ever and never rushes to get you out.
