The ProPublica "Dollars For Docs" Widget -- Swipe This Gadget!


Use it freely -- here is how ProPublica describes it:

. . . .As part of ProPublica’s “Dollars for Docs” series and interactive news application, we've created a small widget that you can embed on your web site. It will let your readers look up whether their health care providers are taking money from the drug companies in our database. The widget shows the amount of money paid to each practitioner in our database, which company made the payment, and in some cases, what the companies saidthey were paying for: speaking fees, consulting, etc. The widget also lists what drugs each company sells so readers can check their own prescriptions.

We’ll be keeping this data up-to-date roughly quarterly, and the widget running on your site will always have the latest data. . . .

Cool! See below:
