I think this would have been an excellent article for CME MainPro credits. Physicians are not as aware of how we are influenced as we should be.

Thanks to Dr. Zimmer for this excellent and informative article. I am an educated and experienced physician yet I have used Dukoral, mistakenly believing that it was useful to prevent traveller's diarrhea. I am sure that I was convinced by DTCA, not realizing the evidence that exists against using this vaccine. Dr. Zimmer reminds us of he risks of DTCA amd why we must be vigilant as physicians and consumers to choose wisely what we prescribe or use.
