Each day, the US Postal Service delivers millions of pieces of unsolicited mail to our country's 500,000 physicians. This onslaught includes brochures for meetings in places both exotic and pedestrian, solicitations from financial institutions, newsletters, magazines, and elaborately packaged pharmaceutical promotions that may include such inducements as candy, flashlights, pens, and even golf tees! Our mailboxes groan under masses of unsolicited letters, periodicals, packets, brochures, booklets, and boxes.
每天，美国邮政服务公司都会向我国五十万名医生投递数百万份未经请求的邮件。这股邮件洪流包括在各种奇特和平凡地点举办会议的宣传册、金融机构的招揽信、时事通讯、杂志以及包装精美的药品促销资料，这些促销资料可能还附带诸如糖果、手电筒、钢笔甚至高尔夫球座等赠品！我们的邮箱被大量未经请求的信件、期刊、包裹、宣传册、小册子和盒子压得不堪重负。
