I’ll be attending Pri-Med in Boston tomorrow at the new Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (I’ll take a break for the Red Sox parade). I know that drug companies provide a lot of the funding, but this is going a bit too far.
First, my registration credentials folder was compliments of Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly. Opening up the folder greeted me with this: “The difference between Stress and Urge Urinary Incontinence is more than a cough”.
As I flip through the materials, I find my Expocard (used to record CME credits) with Lexapro and Namenda plastered over it.
Of course I didn’t miss the full-page handout about Crestor.
I wonder if all the drug companies screaming for my attention will drown out any useful information learned.
