PSA: Make sure you're looking at what the payments are. I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw $32,000 for my doc, until I saw it was all "other fees" from a large company that specializes in treating diabetes and chronic weight patients. My doc has helped me lose over 130 lbs in a little over two years with relatively cheap and generic drugs, probiotics, and simple habit forming. He's been consulted by this particular company to help them understand how he's doing it, and he's open with his patients about it. (Fix the body, not the fat. The body will fix the fat.)
Frankly, $32k seems kind of low considering how much he and others like him are switching up the thinking of the medical community about weight management. Just meeting a doctor who didn't want to cram me full of caffeine pills and fat burners for a temporary weight loss was a needle in a haystack three years ago.

Thanks, Dr F.
Aren't other fees are for speaking and doing research for the company that made the payment? But it went to the doc.
