There is an article in the Boston Globe today about the new rules
about gifts from pharmaceutical firms. They are the strictest in the
nation, I think that other states will follow suit in the next few
years. I think that this trend began with the Nestle boycott and the
Code and we have much to be proud of in raising awareness around
marketing ethics in the medical arena.
