A new study by two researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, helps to explain how doctors rationalize acceptance of such gifts, which author George Loewenstein, the Herbert A. Simon Professor of Economics and Psychology, describes as "barely described bribes." The study found that physicians rationalize acceptance of these gifts as a form of reward for the sacrifices they made obtaining their education.

Actually last time I accepted about GB1000 for flights and accommodation, I rationalised it because the GMC have been investigating me for 2 years now (I believe I am innocent but that is not how I feel I have been treated) so acting ethically has got me f&*k all so why not?
Thanks why.
