During the last few years there has been some criticism concerning the medical training of young doctors. The present study analyses the satisfaction with the medical training (hospitals and general practices) in 401 courses of medical training in the county of West Zealand, Denmark, during the years 1995-1997. The 401 courses resulted in 3136 statements with respect to satisfaction. Only 4.9% of the statements was "discontent", 16.5% "somewhat content", 36.4% "content" and 42.3% "very content". The 4.9% with the statement "discontent" was especially related to the introduction to place of education, focus on medical training and the theoretical lessons. In conclusion the present study revealed general satisfaction in young doctors with the medical training in the county of West Zealand.

The "boom and bust phenomenon" is a pattern that has emerged in the development, introduction, and delivery of a number of significant new contraceptive products in the United States. When a new contraceptive product is introduced with great promise and publicity, it usually experiences a "boom" during which sales, demand, and expectations are high. This boom is often followed by a "bust" phase during which a product does not live up to expectations, initial excitement falls off, and a drop in sales and use ensues. The boom and bust phenomenon goes to the heart of what some have referred to as the failed promise of the contraception revolution by creating obstacles to significant expansion of contraceptive choice in the United States. Case studies of oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, and Norplant(R) are used to illustrate the boom and bust phenomenon and the effect it has had in shaping the direction of advances in contraceptive technology.
