Personal pet peeve: I receive so many unwanted promotional materials from pediatric hospitals and pediatric gastroenterology divisions from across the country. This is such a waste of paper and effort. Presumably, this is an endeavor to raise the profile of these institutions and programs.
If anyone reading this blog has any role in this, please stop sending this crap and only send this material to alumni or those that request (opt-in) it.

Agree! Shout this from the rooftops. I find it so frustrating that this promotional material becomes even more prevalent during rankings for U.S. News and World Report “best hospitals”. When I receive material including blankets, coffee cups, etc. from these hospitals, I wonder if these hospitals realize that the money spent on promotion could have been spent on medications for children and families with financial difficulties.
