@ early 198Os and was well underway by 1996.
MDs with greatest minds were saying, “ I certainly didn’t think I could get rich being in academic medicine.” Then they learned that they could line their pockets- Name themselves as the primary investigator as they partnered with pushy, greedy drug companies and bingo the $ flowed.
The NIH funded their study and the drug company
Incentivized them with $ per patient straight into their pocket.

I watched it with disgust.
