In delicto flagrante
Medical Journal of Australia 1987; 146:322-323

In the last few months in Britain a strong spotlight has been shone on the relationship between doctors and the pharmaceutical industry and a few doctors and companies have been caught in delicto flagrante. The report on the relationship between the medical profession and the industry from the Royal College of Physicians is unduly circumspect.
