Does anyone think prescribing physicians get a kickback from pharmaceutical companies

Is this me being paranoid?
I know pharmacueticals are big business.
I've seen the reps with their cases and how our doctor spent lots of time
with the reps.
It seemed like our doctor was overprescribing and I could never figure any good REASON for it.
Why would a doctor prescribe so much oxycontin AND ms-contin for
breakthrough pain?
Why would a doctor prescribe an antidepressant AND benzos for breakthrough anxiety?
Does anybody know of incentives doctors may be receiving from the pharma companies?

What do YOU think? All input appreciated.
