@jaxz4986 SERMO has been making all of its money by offering market research and advertising opportunities to pharmaceutical companies and “others who want to gather real-world opinions from everyday doctors”.
These can take the form of sponsored posts on new medications, products and techniques, or surveys and polls that pay users a small honoraria for completing. On average, SERMO runs 700,000 surveys a year and gives out more than $US16 million ($A21 million) to doctors in honoraria every year.
But it’s the company’s use of doctors’ conversations for marketing purposes that is most controversial. For example, SERMO’s website outlines that its Vital Reports uses the social media platform to, “mine organic physicians’ conversations about drugs, therapeutic areas, disease states and more… to quantify the impact of conversations as they unfold”.
In fact, in December 2009 the company released a report that examined “physician dialogue about diabetes over a one-year period and provides a complete analyses of a variety of topics, including the therapies physicians discuss most frequently, the brands they prefer, and candid/verbatim comments on issues related to diabetes”.

@003SOK Here's the full transcript of Trump's comments:
"So I asked Bill a question some of you are thinking of if you're into that world, which I find to be pretty interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it'd be interesting to check that. So you're going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we'll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that's pretty powerful."
