A pen, of the kind that drug companies commonly distribute to physicians, can cost as little as 25 cents if you purchase 10,000 of them from a product catalog. A disposable penlight, another gift commonly distributed, costs approximately $2.50 at university bookstores. The average cost of a dinner at a 4-star restaurant such as Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, is $100 per person, excluding drinks and gratuity. Physicians who are more aware of guidelines about gifts from industry are more likely to view such gifts as inappropriate [1-13]
