Dr$.$ Jones recently moved to Massachusetts from California to take a position as the head of orthopedic surgery at a leading hospital. She received a small basket of chocolates, cookies, and other novelties from a device company representative that she used to collaborate with in California with a note that read, $$Congratulations on your new role! I will miss working with you but wish you all the best!$$ What should she do with the gift basket?

a$.$ Since Dr$.$ Jones is new to this hospital$/$healthcare system in Massachusetts, she should contact her compliance department $($or legal department$)$ or supervisor to understand the legal and policy restrictions better.

b$.$ Send the gift basket back$$physicians can never accept gift baskets like these.

c$.$ Eat up$!$ These snacks cannot be viewed as a gift to influence Dr$.$ Jones since the device company representative is no longer working with her.
