Mental Health Blogs

Via the Wall Street Journal’s Health blog comes word that Eli Lilly has just released a list of payouts to doctors acting as consultants for the company and likely speaking on behalf of their drugs to other doctors. The payouts total $22 million in the first quarter of 2009.

I did a quick read of the list, but none of the usual suspects from the world of psychiatry jumped out at me. Feel free to look it over yourself and let me know if you see anything noteworthy. Of course, Lilly is deeply involved in areas outside of psychiatry, especially cancer and diabetes treatments.

For what my opinion is worth, although I find many of these consulting arrangements to be sleazy, I admire Lilly for detailing them publicly.
