@Julienneviuya I understand that the spouse does have a good deal of leverage but I have heard that this ca lead to some very uncomfortable situations. As a medical device sales person it is hard to maintain a friendship with someone in the medical field. Treating a friend to dinner that is a physician can be seen as an infraction and lead to complications to both parties. It would smarter in my opinion to set a limit for how much the salesman is allow to cover for dinner. if the sales person wants to pay for dinner at TGI Fridays it is less of bribe than paying for just physician at Rao’s in NYC. It should not matter how many people are being paid for but rather how much is being paid.
