Verma S.
“A matter of influence”: graduate medical education and commercial sponsorship
New England Journal of Medicine 1988; 318:52


Abstract:

The author sees nothing wrong in being sponsored by a pharmaceutical company to say in public what he would say in an academic setting. Believing that doctors can be influenced by gifts presupposes a lack of judgement on the part of doctors.
