"It's more than that. I have never taken a gift from a drug company--ever. Yes, they will bring lunch for our noon-time conferences but in no way are we obligated to prescribe their medications. Most of us don't bother. The initial comment about the physician-patient relationship is very true. If you (the patient) don't trust us (the docs) to have your best interest at heart then we've both failed. Ultimately the person who suffers is the patient." - Hisham
