Ethical Question

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

-It depends on the circumstances of the ticket giving. If the physician has no intend to buy from the rep and has made his/her intentions to the rep clear and the tickets weren't given as a form of rep hoping to get orders from the physician then yes it is ok. Say the rep had the tickets and is close friends of the physician and all of a sudden the rep has a event or issue that arises preventing the rep from attending the game and they know the physician and their family are fans of the Minnesota Wild then I find no problem in the physician attending the game. But if other motives are behind the ticket gifting then no the physician would be out of line to expect the tickets.

Provide an argument for this based on the current ethical fabric of society and what is accepted in the organizations involved.
