Ethical Decisions

 Is it ethical for a physician to accept Wild tickets from a pharmaceutical rep to take her family to the game?

This is a situation that happens extremely often when a sales rep is trying to coax any buyer into considering their product. In some cases this may seem completely innocent, however it could be viewed as unethical when involving pharmaceutical drugs. "Bribes" like tickets to a pro sporting event may skew a physicians professional opinion on a new drug. So, completely depending on the circumstance, this could either be ethical or unethical.
