What are an example of a conflict of interest that could possible arise in a medical practice?

A conflict of interest in a medical practice could arise if a physician has a financial stake in a laboratory and refers patients there for tests, potentially prioritizing profit over patient care. Another example is when a doctor receives incentives from a pharmaceutical company to prescribe a specific medication, which may not be the best option for the patient. These situations can compromise the integrity of medical decision-making and patient trust.
