Abstract:
The silent majority of medical practitioners appear to have a much healthier and workable relationship with the pharmaceutical industry than do the people that Dr. Guyatt represents. In discussions with future physicians at all levels of training they were extremely disturbed by the patronizing attitude of “academicians.†In order to teach trainees how to deal with the pharmaceutical industry there should be exposure to their representatives and the information that they provide so that the trainees can exercise their critical appraisal skills.
