So yet another institution probably will lower the boom on gifts from pharmas and medical device manufacturers. As you saw yesterday, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is proposing to ban all forms of pharma and device freebies, up to and including drug samples, and even suspend admitting privileges of physicians who break the rules. Is this a good idea? I'd argue that while it sounds nice, it's pretty questionable to ban samples until you come up with a workable alternative for poor patients. Sure, UPMC is said to be considering choices, but it doesn't look like that's a central part of its plans. I'm not suggesting institutions should never set limits on accepting drug samples. After all, it seems intuitively obvious having them on hand will encourage physicians to use them, and then prescribe the drug thereafter. free bonus playing casino games cash casino deposit no required casino slot machine online win where there is video roulette machine
