Is it ethical for a physician to accept Wild tickets from a pharmaceutical rep to take her family to the game?
in hospitals there are strict guidelines against receiving gifts from patients. small gifts that are reasonably priced or that seem appropriate are acceptable but gifts that seem to extravagant or that can be seen as bribery are grounds for dismissal.
i think that accepting gifts is fine as long as the doctor is not expected to pay the gift back in any way. if a patient wishes to give a give it must be just that, a gift.
