It seems like advice in this area for residents, fellows, and new grads is valuable. Perhaps some of the seasoned pain doctors can share their pearls. I'll start:
1) When Industry pays you, you're being paid to do a job.
2) Quid pro quo makes the world goes round. It's about relationships.
3) If it sounds like BS, it probably is.
4) You probably *ARE* the smartest person in the room, but don't think for a minute that you've earned the right to be heard and respected.
5) Don't take your eye off the bottom line.
6) The industry will never love you. You are replaceable.
