Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 About 20 years ago, a friend who had just become a new physician was offered several hundred dollars to deliver a speech for a drug company. I can still remember her sharing this story. She was enraged and declined the offer saying " I didn't even write the speech! They wrote it! and I didn't agree with what it said. So I said I'm not doing this! " She had the integrity to not accept the money to deliver a speech she didn't agree with. And believe me she needed the money cause she was in debt to her ears from medical school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
