近年来,美国医药工业和医师关系受到了社会的广泛关注。2003年底至2004年初,一项涉及全美范围的6个关于专业医师的抽样调查显示,94%的医师与医药工业有各种类型的关系,主要是在工作场所接受食物(83%)或药品样品(78%)。超过1/3的医师接受过专业会议和继续教育的费用偿付;超过1/4的医师接受过咨询、演讲或招聘病人参加实验的报酬。心 In recent years, the relationship between the U.S. pharmaceutical industry and physicians has drawn wide public concern. From the end of 2003 to early 2004, a sample of six physicians surveyed across the United States showed that 94% of physicians had various types of relationships with the pharmaceutical industry, mainly in the workplace (83%) or in the form of drug samples (78%). More than one-third of physicians are paid for professional meetings and further education; more than one-quarter of physicians are paid for consulting, speaking or hiring patients for experimentation. heart
