[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 55385, member: 3783"] I disagree! I work in a medical office and I can tell you that even though our particular type of practice prescribes very few medications, we still have a regular bunch of drug reps who call wanting to bring lunch for the entire office staff, bring drug company samples, clocks, pens, candies, lotions, you name it! And they also offer "honariums" to docs who give targeted lectures to other doctors which mention their specific drug product. The deluge of literature about their drugs is so pervasive, that our staff have even inadvertently put brochures/pens/etc. in the waiting room for medications that we don't even prescribe! I have also read articles about psychiatrists that support the fact that they are more likely to prescribe newer, more expensive medications over the older, more tested medications because they are so heavily promoted (instead of considering their actual effectiveness).
