You can talk about unethical practices all you'd like. The pharma companies self-regulate the hell out of rep/doctor interactions. Every dollar is accounted for. There's no "entertaining." There's limited speaking fees compared to even 10 years ago. And doctors don't care about a nice steak dinner. They can buy that themselves. They're not going to write a product over another because of a steak from Morton's.
Would owning copious amounts of stock in a pharmaceutical company whose product you write prescriptions for be unethical? If not the doctor, then his wife, brother-in-law, cousin etc.? Just curious as I would be willing to bet it occurs. To me, that's more sinister than the 1995 stuff.

Even a high volume doctor would not affect the bottom line of a publicly traded stock of a pharma company. 500-1000 Rxes just aren't enough to change the value of a stock, even if they're maintenance scripts.
Hospital formularies can affect the bottom line. But the Feds have thrown the book at people who have engaged in kickbacks at that level.
