→Medical trade association statements regarding medical care
Medical trade associations occasionally issue an opinion statement regarding medical care offered by their speciality. The public should be aware that the medical trade associations first duty is to protect the income stream of its membership. This frequently creates a conflict of interest between the best interests of the patient and the best interests of the member doctors.
Such statements may exhibit considerable [[bias]] toward protection of physician income.
