Trade displays at medical conferences
New Zealand Medical Journal 1980; 92:401

Drug companies continue to advertise in medical journals and at trade conferences because doctors prescribe heavily advertised drugs more frequently. The author considers this unethical. He is encouraged that doctors are shunning company displays at trade conferences.
