Reply #8: I see this as a problem [View All]

What you call an *interesting relationship*, others who are not in this little club look at this as a sleazy little party. Why is it that doctors and bankers (as another person posted) accept gifts and gratuities from drug companies or other businesses, with NO or little accounting of these things - while waitresses and waiters were hounded about tips they received?

I overheard one doctor giggling with a drug rep about a cruise the drug company had sent his family on. This doesn't seem totally UNETHICAL to doctors?

Why is it that people in lower paid jobs are required to list virtually every cent they make, while doctors and their offices are given office supplies, dinners, etc., and then look at them as "goodies"?

And I'm sure the pot gets pricier at Christmas, because then the articles given can then be officially be called GIFTS with a capital "G".

It's amazing how much corruption and graft gets overlooked these days at certain levels, all because it's labeled with a different name. :puke:

It's only the working class or the poor that get called to pay up.
