Abstract
"However, in conferences today, the most important criterion for the medical association or society hosting the conference seems to be the venue-it should be easily accessible, have good hotels for the delegates and have some tourist spots. Doctors also get to meet their colleagues and discuss professional problems, financial issues, malpractice hassles, or even life stories. Many of the doctors attend these conferences because their organisation sponsors them. The organiser wants to make the conference 'a hit' towards contesting for the post of 'President' or 'Secretary' of the governing council of the association. Pharmaceutical companies have stalls with programmes for accompanying spouses and children and sponsor delegate kits, lavish banquets and entertainment." (pg 37)
