It seems that a large number of healthcare professionals and
researchers — many of whom are state employed — are supplementing their
salary with a nice sum of money paid out by the pharmaceutical industry.
More than 25,000 physicians and researchers in Texas received a combined amount of at least $57 million in cash from the pharmaceutical industry in research money, free meals, travel, and more, from 2009 to early 2011.
Many of the medical professionals, some of which were already
attaining a state salary as much as $500,000/year, were bringing in
$100,000 between 2009 and early 2011 thanks to the pharmaceutical
industry financial push.
