I just have an issue with companies that categorize the marketing of their products as research. I’m not sure but I think there would be a tax advantage to categorizing something as research as opposed to marketing. Drug commercials should be limited, too many people actually believe them and demand the products from their doctors.

Your clinic is the exception rather than the rule. Too many Doctors and drug companies have too cozy a relationship. Ordering needless tests, prescribing too many drugs, not keeping patients informed, has become the norm in many settings.
