| 2. | 1/30/2008 1:40:00 PM | it is a choice to attend |
| 3. | 1/30/2008 2:02:00 PM | Dinners and discussion are okay, Persuasion is not |
| 4. | 1/30/2008 3:27:00 PM | As long as the message delivered is unbiassed |
| 5. | 1/30/2008 3:47:00 PM | Dinners should be reasonable not expensive |
| 6. | 1/30/2008 4:17:00 PM | Meals are fine and necessary because of time constraints. The added expense of expensive alcohol is not acceptable. |
| 7. | 1/30/2008 4:26:00 PM | case by case: if solely for selling products it should be forbidden. if for counseling, it should be allowed |
| 8. | 1/30/2008 6:02:00 PM | It's difficult to generalise; decisions regarding this activity should be made by individual centres |
| 9. | 1/30/2008 6:31:00 PM | No |
| 10. | 1/30/2008 7:24:00 PM | Spouses should be included since lack of spouse decreases ability to attend. Speakers should be given full academic freedom. "Canned" lectures are of little value. |
| 11. | 1/30/2008 7:50:00 PM | Although I have done this in the past, I think most physicians are changing their minds |
| 12. | 1/30/2008 9:38:00 PM | meals should be prudent and discussion scientific albeit promotional |
| 13. | 1/30/2008 10:37:00 PM | I think there are two types of dinner programs. Some are truly educational, and I have no problem with those. |
| 14. | 1/31/2008 2:49:00 AM | many other industries do it, and we get increasingly less perks in our lives. I think we are intelligent enough to make decisons with the information given to us |
| 15. | 1/31/2008 10:01:00 AM | it ia a way to meet + discuss imortant medical issues with colleagues . |
| 16. | 1/31/2008 12:32:00 PM | Ok as loing as dinners not outlandish |
| 17. | 1/31/2008 6:10:00 PM | Depends on 'real' nature od such dinners and discussions |
| 18. | 1/31/2008 7:01:00 PM | Its their money and they can spend it as they please |
| 19. | 1/31/2008 9:20:00 PM | this question implies undue "pressure" I would prefer an unbiased approach |
| 20. | 2/1/2008 2:51:00 AM | expensive dinners, treats etc...no, but reasonable dinners with educational programs yes |
| 21. | 2/3/2008 10:05:00 AM | Not very expensive dinners but going out to dinner is ok |
