It seems that all social aspects of doctoring have gone by the wayside, be they memberships to country clubs, the lounge, and now pharma sponsored events. All that is left are meetings, and with the costs of these and the advent of the webinar, even these may ultimately die off like the dinosaur. Too bad, really.
