Yuck. Shame on the academics who lent their names to these things, and the companies that thought this corrupt scheme in the first place. The Universities in question should be seriously investigating this stuff. And I hope the medical journals up their ethics standards. What else can you say?
That said, I do wish I would get $20k for writing a review paper.
