Hi Dave, Can you please outline exactly what you received from specialized? Was it a plane ticket? Was it an all expenses paid trip? How many days? Just curious how much Specialized is pushing these things. In medicine, pharmaceutical companies are no longer able to do things like this. They have shown in studies that no matter how impervious a doctor thinks they are to the effects of this type of direct marketing, they are wrong. Accepting free gifts from any company has been proven to significantly change prescription behaviors by changing how you perceive things.
