A Couple of New Blogs/Sites

This is a quick message to alert readers to some sites I just became aware of today. First, anyone lusting for an illustrated inventory of all the goodies that drug reps leave for doctors can find it at:

You might want to do your on line Christmas shopping here.

Next, it seems that some HIV physicians have taken off the gloves and gone after their peers who are scarfing up the big bucks from the drug industry. The site is not afraid to name names:

It has long seemed a problem to me that being a paid shill for the industry is apparently a no-consequences move for an academic physician. A few more websites like this one and that could change.
