| 2. | Tue, 3/13/07 11:09 PM | Dr. Jones should feel free to invest his money as he sees fit, so long as the reason that he prefers the products of the companies in which he invests is that those products truly best meet the needs of his patients. If not, a serious COI exists. |

| 4. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:18 AM | On why he prescribes them and whether or not, if alternative therapy is indicated, his stock ownership would change his practice pattern. |
| 5. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:30 AM | It depends how much stock he buys and whether he allows his purchase to influence his medical practice. |
| 6. | Wed, 3/14/07 1:16 AM | If his prescription numbers for the particular product increase above his baseline, this is a serious conflict. |
| 7. | Wed, 3/14/07 3:47 AM | Depends on if his prescribing practices are determined by his stocks or stocks are determined by prescribing. (if this is the medication he feels is the best then purchases stock) |
| 8. | Wed, 3/14/07 12:14 PM | On his disclosures to patients and peers. |
