Sometimes it seems all we have is advertising for prescription medication,
especially one particular erectable dysfunction medicine that isn't Viagra.
It's very off-putting to me. I figure the docs and the patients ought to be
able to figure out what's needed. Methinks the drug companies are trying an end
run on the docs to that patients will go into the appointment with a particular
drug already in mind.
We (local we, don't know about national) used to have the same system with
reps, but lots of places have put the squish on them. There's a big sign in my
doctor's office about drug reps can leave their information, but they won't be
seen. About the same time as the new policy went into effect, free samples
started drying up. Go figure. <g.
