• The Mafia of Pharma Pricing

  You can actually look up payments from certain companies to doctors now: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ I’ve checked several doctors that I’ve visited over the years. None of them show up, with one exception: The doctor who immediately set off my scam alarms when she tried really, really hard to get me diagnosed with sleep apnea, despite not one but two very clearly negative sleep studies. I could never... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Study shows most doctors endorsing drugs on X are paid to do so

  You can search the database they used: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ I can’t find Huberman, but it does look like Peter Attia was payed $300k by Dexcom for consulting services. Dexcom makes continued glucose monitors that Attia has repeatedly mentioned on the show. It looks like there’s even an episode where he interviews the CEO.

• Is it "necessary" to try Orilissa or Lupron before potentially considering surgery?

  If you're in the U.S., I recommend you look up your doctor (or any other doctor you might go to for a second opinion) on this site - it will tell you how much they are paid by pharmaceutical companies. The first Endo specialist I went to also said she wanted to put me on Orilissa before considering surgery, and guess what? Over $100k(!!!!!) in payments from Abbvie (Orilissa's manufacturer) that year alone. Huge... Source: about 2 years ago

• Endo won’t prescribe Tandem anymore

• Smith & Nephew Polar3

  I also find it difficult to trust an MD's opinion because they are often get perks from the manufacturer that provides their devices. For example, I have seen three surgeons that use three different manufacturers (Stryker, S&N and Zimmer) and -- surprise! -- according to Https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ All three of them had received payments from the manufacturer they use. Also, sometimes, surgeons don't... Source: over 2 years ago

  You can also view the payments drug companies make to doctors online. (But usually it's things like training sessions and samples, kickbacks are not a thing) She should know this as a nurse. Source: over 2 years ago

• WSJ Editorial calls out ProPublica for “harmful” language against plus-sized yachts (and more)

  And don't even get me started on the Open Payments database...why would anyone want to look up and see what their doctor was getting from various pharmaceutical companies? I hear those Purdue people really took care of the doctors who focused on their products. Wonder whatever happened to those guys? Source: over 2 years ago

• That’s the morning tea ☕️🐸

  Still, hospitals and doctors both are allowed to receive financial or other incentives from medical companies (ie those who manufacture medical devices), pharmaceutical companies, etc. With the premise that it doesn’t impact prescribing patterns or patient health (press x to doubt). This gov site sheds some light but i’m sure plenty of it goes under the table so to speak in the form of “gifts” and donations and... Source: over 2 years ago
