Onsert with Canadian Family Physician questionable
Canadian Family Physician 1997; 43:613

Abstract:

The inclusion of Meeting Report, Acid-related Gastrointestinal Disorders with the January issue of the Canadian Family Physician was distasteful, inaccurate and obviously biased. The College of Family Physicians of Canada is supporting biased educational initiatives in order to attract pharmaceutical industry funding.
