- Abstract
The author reflects on the disclosure of financial relationships between medical industries and clinicians, researchers and related institutions around the world. She cites the proposed Physicians Payment Sunshine Act that has been discussed as part of the health reform bill in the U.S. She also cites some devices and pharmaceutical firms like Merck & Co. Inc., GlaxoSmithKline and Cephalon Inc. endorsing the act by starting to release details of their payments to practitioners on their website.
