I am sure that the combination of both factors are having their impact.

Also, don't underestimate the impact of these once-a-year nationwide medical conventions - this is not just a local group.

Medical conventions also get a lot of non-doctor attendees such as medical suppliers, big drug companies and the like. The non-physicans often outnumber the doctors.
