Nixon AJ.
Stress and the ethical physician.
CMAJ 1991 Nov 1; 145:(9):1081

Abstract:

The author writes to say that he can no longer ethically read the Canadian Medical Association Journal since he cannot be trusted to read scientific material interspersed with advertisements without the danger of influence. Similarly he is “brown bagging” all of his samples and writing generic names on the bags.
