==============================================
How about whatever the visiting doctor want's to disclose in these very important areas? Fair enough? That way we'll all know what they think is important to disclose.I of course have no axe to grind as has been suggested. I don't understand why one wouldn't be for transparency and disclosure....to the degree that the doc is willing to do so.
Then let us, the public and patients judge as to any *potential* (not conclusivity) where conflict of interest is concerned, that's all.
Isn't it a resonable proceedure to know an professional's affiliations, academic or otherwise?
