One of the drug reps that came in last month told us that they were no longer
allowed to offer events at 5 star resturaunts that it must be a "modest"
meal.  Moreover, they are no longer allowed to just drop off food or freebees.
The reason given for this is that dropping off items without an appointment  is
more like a "gift".  So, I am very surprised that with the new pharmaceutical
regulations that they are allowed to offer an educational lectures at a
"swanky-poo" resturaunt.  Maybe you could report this.  Chris
