Mentor FarmGirlWorks Posted April 18, 2018 Mentor Share Posted April 18, 2018 29 minutes ago, GentleSteps said: @FarmGirlWorks - Great scouting on Dollars for Docs. While some may say that Seidman's receipt of about $4K over a few years is unremarkable or negligible in the context psychiatry's (and the medical profession's generally) systemic ties to the pharmaceutical industry, I still find it notable and worthy of note. So thank you for the research. Did Dollars for Docs indicate what companies or drugs he received money for? There usually are notations specifying that information in the search results. Here's the breakdown, GS: https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/doctors/pid/174663 Prozac | late 2004-mid-2005 | CT WD in a couple months, mostly emotional Sertraline 50-100mg | 11/2011-3/2014, 10/2014-3/2017 Sertraline fast taper March 2017, 4 weeks, OFF sertraline April 1, 2017 Quit alcohol May 20, 2017 Lifestyle changes: AA, kundalini yoga "If you've seen a monster, even if it's horrible, that's evidence of divinity." – Damien Echols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleSteps Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanks @FarmGirlWorks! It seems the majority of his payments came from speaking engagements that aren't tied (at least in DFD's database) to specific products. I wish Pro Publica were able to update this database past 2015 and wonder why they stopped at 2015. It's probably a matter of resources - it must be very time consuming and costly to gather and organize the rich fields of data that they have collected and made available.
