While I certainly appreciate many of your comments, there was one that I took exception to. That was that you thought there was no good reason for samples to be distributed through a physician's office. I would just humbly suggest to you that I wouldn't want to throw out the baby with the bath water. There are many people who don't have drug plans, for instance, working-class people or small-business owners. So I think there might be many legitimate uses for samples.
But I think you were bang on in saying that continuing professional education should never be sponsored. Is the one certificate you brought with you an anomaly or is this something that is actually taking place across the country?
