    Q. In your view, is there any way that a physician could ethically go on tour with an artist around the

    world?

    A. I think if they were set up as part of a group that had good checks and balances, and that was

    A. Credible entity, and they rotated people through, I think it's possible.

    Q. I'm asking about one physician, not a rotating group.

    A. I think it's very difficult. ow would that physician stay up to speed with medical education and with

    the normal rounds that they attend and the educational sort of opportunities? !hey wouldn't have their

    "" their thinking shaped day to day by running patients by other people. !hat would be
