Great answer. Of course this doctor, like all others, is probably being invited to very fancy dinners courtesy of Pharma cos with the only requirement being that they listen to a 15 minute presentation on their latest "research". After that, free food and drink!
I know many docs decline these invitations, but when you'e a poorly paid med student the prospect of a great dinner is hard to pass. So they might go and try to avoid getting swayed by the sales pitch. But it probably affects them on some level.
