A Duke University medical student is distressed at the tacky thing his expensive, classy Duke education begins to resemble. Why are so many of his well-compensated professors so greedy that they go out and shill for drug companies?
It’s really not very becoming. The American Medical Student Association gave Duke a D last year on its report card on conflicted med schools. This year, Bart Simpson-like, Duke med has pulled itself up to a C.
From Dirty to Cheesy. It’s a start.

COMMUNIST!
“It’s nonsense,” [one paid medical speaker said of calls for stricter oversight of conflicts]. “The notion that somehow this is going to influence us, because we’re getting dinner from a drug company, this is communist, nanny government at its most extreme.”
Next thing you know they’ll be regulating for-profit education!
