As a Family Practice physician, I just wanted to chime in here and say that Doctors, by and large, to not get kickbacks from drug companies. In fact, that is unethical and, in many cases, illegal. At this point, a drug representative cannot even give me a pen.
I admit a few docs do sign up for these "speaking gigs" but those are few and far between. Speaking for family physicians, I think that we would recommend something like this for our patients if we can get some controlled studies of it done and good backing from the company to support their product. I can definitely see this moving into healthcare settings soon. I have already discussed with several of my patients. I have not specifically recommended this product yet as I am financially invested in it.
