have you ever needed opiod painkillers? they work very well at doing their thing and severe pain sucks.

american doctors give them out for things that don't need them. i'm not complaining they gave me a percocet prescription after relocating my shoulder but i'd have preferred the painkillers for when they were doing that rather than after

everything about pharmaceutical marketing in the present-day USA would make for a great dystopian historical novel in like 100 years if there were still going to be any humans around 100 years from now with enough free time to have books and literacy

i am actually not sure if there are other countries where you can go to the doctor and find that they have pens and notepads and calendars w prescription drug logos and slogans on them that were handed out by the "pharmaceutical representative" a.k.a. attractive 20-year-old woman sent around to old male doctors' offices to smile at them and give them swag and free samples

I've worked at a place where it was policy for the docs not to be behind closed doors with drug reps because of things that had happened in the past.

A big part of the problem is focusing too much on patient satisfaction surveys. Hospitals receive funding based on them and doctors receive bonuses based on them. So, it is in their best interest to overprescribe pain management meds so that patients do not say they were dissatisfied. It isn't the whole of the issue but it is a big part of the numerous people who got started after a doctors visit.

An ex of mine had a brother-in-law who was a veterinarian. He gave me a waterproof video recorder for Christmas because some drug rep gave it to him. He said "I like you, but I kept the iPad." Even rural horse doctors get wined and dined by big pharma. It's hosed up.

I have no idea what percentage of their money is spent on drug rep type stuff but I'm always like look at you, look at these people coming here all the time to "check up on things" no wonder poo poo is expensive.

Drug reps are a weird breed.

At the office I work at we just had a presentation on the MACRA/MIPS Medicare incentive program (Formerly "Meaningful Use") that a drug company put together and paid for because that makes so much sense.

there was a point in my youth where my family was going through a bit of a rough patch financially and I managed to get a few weeks of prescription meds free from a sympathetic doctor who just gave me a bunch of the free sample packages they had laying around from the pharmaceutical rep
