This is a good question for discussion, Roberto. I agree with zmh4 that if two people are out to discuss business, then it should only be about business. However, some issues can come up, and an uninvited or invited party joins the meeting. In the case of a doctor having a meeting with another person and he decides to bring his wife along, there are restrictions that prevent the other party from buying even lunch to the doctor’s wife. While most people would see this as restrictive and unreasonable, these restrictions are for the best interest of the patients and other parties involved. Doctors should never be bribed as this would compromise how they discharge their duties. In fact, they should not be given too expensive gifts as this is seen as an indirect form of bribery. To be honest, doctors are fully aware of these restrictions, so in most cases, it’s the people they are meeting with that find these restrictions too restrictive.
