The first part of an NDTV hidden camera expose shows up, once and for all, the seamy underbelly of the medical profession. How bribes are offered by pharmaceutical companies to doctors to prescribe drugs of their company's brand and how doctors demand everything from hard cash to iPads to expensive cameras. NDTV reporters went undercover for three weeks to uncover multiple instances of medical corruption. Three separate Delhi doctors were chosen at random with shocking results. On Left, Right And Centre, we speak to all the stakeholders to react to this expose. Some of the most distinguished doctors in the country, representatives from the Medical Council of India - the country's medical watchdog - which many argue has been co-opted and chooses to look the other way and representatives of pharma companies.
