No Mug? Drug Makers Cut Out Goodies for Doctors

Remember that self-regulation thingy that worked so well in our financial industry?
Now it's being applied to our medical 'industry'.

Some skeptics deride the voluntary ban as a superficial measure that does nothing to curb the far larger amounts drug companies spend each year on various other efforts to influence physicians. But proponents welcome it as a step toward ending the barrage of drug brands and logos that surround, and may subliminally influence, doctors and patients.

OK, Kiddies, let's all raise our hands if we believe this 'self-regulation' thingy will work any better for the medical field than it did for the financial field ...
