1/My 2018 Dollars for Docs: $0
This was enormously difficult & is not sustainable. Coz if you lead trials some small amount gets invariably reported.
$0 is possible only for people who don't lead therapeutic trials. #MedTwitter

2/ I had to go through all kinds of contortions to get to $0, including taking my name off many papers even though I was an investigator. Ride separately from other investigators to meetings. Avoid drinking even bottled water in long meetings to get zero dollars reported.
3/So we have a problem. If you want experts with zero $ conflicts you will end up with people who don't lead clinical trials.
The $ amounts reported do not mean that investigators are enriching themselves: it can be meetings, being authors on papers. Actual cost to do the trial
