Can a psychiatrist be wealthy, but also morally bankrupt? It appears so.

The US Senate Finance Committee, with "thorn-in-your-side" leadership from Iowa Senator Charles Grassley, has been investigating conflicts of interest among psychiatrists who receive federal health grants but also pharma dollars.
Something like 30 psychiatrists are under investigation for lying about their membership in the "dishonesty for dollars" program, a possibility that's consistent with psychiatry having become the most dubious profession in all of medicine and science.

Joseph Biederman: If you learn about the dirty deeds of JB and you don't get sick, then you've lost your soul. He is credited with almost single-handedly laying the path that led to hundreds of thousands of children now taking the most dangerous psychotropic meds - the neuroleptics. Never approved or properly tested for kids, this is an on-going experiment in America that rivals the Tuskegee syphilis studies. We will one day look back on this period and ask the same question: how was this possible, done in the bright-light of day?

Charles Nemeroff: A first-rate pharma-pitbull, Nemeroff still remains a psychiatrist at Emory University, where he should have been fired long ago. Instead, he has managed to do things like get psychiatrist David Healy fired. It's a long story, but when Healy questioned the safety of Lilly's Prozac, Nemeroff went after him, and Healy soon lost the position he had been given at the University of Toronto. In one encounter, as Healy tells it, "Dr. Nemeroff came up to me in the course of the meeting in what was a very scary meeting between him and me and told me that my career would be destroyed if I kept on showing results like the ones that I'd just shown, that I had no right to bring out hazards of the pills like these."
