Wow, my thyroid doctor took in $138,000.00 in 2017 from big pharma, especially AstraZeneca, which may be why she has been pushing me to keep taking their product named Crestor.
Other years they gave her lesser amounts of: $58,000 - $97,000 annually.
That's pretty amazing.
Our family practice Dr. who is a personal friend, took zero.
I remember when Crestor first came out and they were giving it away like candy. It lowered my Cholesterol and then I never took it again because something bothered me about not having a script for 6 months of pills.
Thank you for that link!

Be careful with the statins
New thyroid doctor ASAP. Crestor isn't a thyroid med--it's a combo high blood pressure/high cholesterol med... Wtf?
Clarification:
The primary reason I go to her is for my Hashimoto's thyroid condition. She writes me a script for Synthroid for that.
And, when my cholesterol started rising (its a familial thing), she suggested a statin drug. That's where the Crestor comes in.
BTW, Crestor does not affect blood pressure - it is a statin drug and reduces cholesterol only.
Yikes! And you're welcome!
