To the Editor: In the otherwise excellent article by Dr Rothman and colleagues,1 one practice was not mentioned: the sale of physician information to information management companies that in turn sell the data to pharmaceutical companies for marketing purposes. I would be interested in the authors' opinion of this practice.
Financial Disclosures: None reported.
