I don't see what the issue is..... Doctors already give out "free samples" of drugs so what's the problem with them having a pharmacy within their office.
The Dr. does his job, prescribes the meds and you go to the on staff pharmacist and get it. BFD........ The doctor needs to make sure the patient isn't doctor shopping though...... but that happens whether it's a pharmacy or doctor giving out the meds.... just ask Limbaugh.
As for doctors selling out to med companies and being paid for what they prescribe, I believe the Doctor should inform you of that and offer you the choice of medications available.
It's not ethical and it's not right but until we regulate the medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industries, we will have this problem.
