Episode Synopsis

There is an unseen bond between pharmaceutical companies and doctors. Pharmaceutical companies need the doctors to promote their products and doctors need the financial assistance and marketing capabilities of pharmaceutical companies. The Malaysian Medical Council has a specific guideline entitled “Relationship between doctors and the Pharmaceutical industry” (MMC guideline 007/2006), which aims to ensure, that doctors be as ethical as possible when dealing with pharmaceutical companies. In this podcast, I will describe my experience with the pharmaceutical companies and I will give some advice to young specialist moving to private practice.
