| 1. | 2/7/2008 1:18:00 PM | They may be losing money or time by speaking |
| 2. | 2/7/2008 3:16:00 PM | An honorium from the hospital/medical school is reasonable - monies from the pharmaceutical company needs to be disclosed to the audience |
| 3. | 2/7/2008 3:40:00 PM | should be disclosed |
| 4. | 2/7/2008 5:06:00 PM | then MD's are no better than drug reps! |
| 5. | 2/7/2008 5:54:00 PM | I don't regard it as necessarily evil! |
| 6. | 2/7/2008 6:48:00 PM | It is a personal decision |
| 7. | 2/7/2008 7:37:00 PM | no firm opinion |
| 8. | 2/7/2008 7:44:00 PM | Why not? Why is it that physicians are the only ones that cannot profit from the "business" of medicine? |
| 9. | 2/7/2008 8:35:00 PM | They are not charity workers |
| 10. | 2/7/2008 8:57:00 PM | a limit is reasonable |
| 11. | 2/7/2008 9:18:00 PM | Of course, how do you get speakers otherwise? |
| 12. | 2/7/2008 10:06:00 PM | they are shills for the company anyway |
| 13. | 2/7/2008 10:15:00 PM | Only a nominal honorarium |
| 14. | 2/7/2008 11:06:00 PM | a small honorarium is ok |
| 15. | 2/7/2008 11:22:00 PM | Depends on consulting/royalty arrangements and they need to disclose honoraria. |
| 16. | 2/7/2008 11:57:00 PM | Small honorarium is appropriate (less than $300) |
| 17. | 2/8/2008 12:31:00 AM | Their time is worth something...they are "teaching" |
| 18. | 2/8/2008 12:35:00 AM | It shoudl be a modest payment since it is additional work.Otherwise noone would do it and you want quality presenters not just a professional CME lecturer |
| 19. | 2/8/2008 3:11:00 AM | Enough to compensate for loss of practice revenue. Not a cent more |
| 20. | 2/8/2008 2:01:00 PM | Honorarium |
| 21. | 2/8/2008 5:16:00 PM | time time time should poliicians receive renumeration for similr events? |
| 22. | 2/8/2008 6:21:00 PM | As long as it is not directly from medical company (through CME provider) |
| 23. | 2/8/2008 7:11:00 PM | Perhaps if preparation of talk was extensive |
| 24. | 2/10/2008 12:25:00 AM | Many hours are put into putting together a presentation for these events. These hours are during a physician's "free time". In no other industry are people expected to do this type of work for free. However, this funding should not be from any particular company but rather a pool of resources. |
| 25. | 2/10/2008 3:22:00 PM | but it should be modest |
| 26. | 2/14/2008 1:22:00 AM | Depends upon the type of meeting |
| 27. | 2/18/2008 7:02:00 PM | they may |
