I think it's only recently that people even know about it. With many (most?) professions, there are rules that govern ethics. A pro must inform their client about incentives they receive. Most people probably never even considered that their 'friendly family doctor' would take money from pharma to treat them. It's sick.
This is not exclusive to Dr's I must assert. There are lots of industries where someone recieves incentives to sell you something that has a death rate.
