1. Oh do I hear you...

Every time I go to one of my doctors, they are EVERYWHERE.
Toting their little roll about suitcases- 30 something year olds,
smugly smiling on the elevators in their cheap suits.
Peddling clinical trials...
I wanna yell at them, but I don't.
I just look the other way.
I swear, there are more pharma reps than lobbyists in DC.
They are EVERYWHERE.

3. One time i was at the docs for a bad case of strep

If my throat swells I can't drink,it has gotten bad enough to fuck with my oxygen levels.Anyway, pharm rep was standing near me.I coughed in my hand,and it was moist when he was talking to the secretary.I asked to see his lapoptop as I had never seen a toughbook before ,and he let me hold and get a look at it.I can charm people like him.I ran my streppy hands over the keyboard and touch screen lol.

That assholery made me feel a whole lot better!

2. It took me awhile to realize what they were

I hadn't been to the doctor in several years and I was wondering what all those young ladies in heels and short skirts (sometimes an occasional man) were doing running around all over the place pulling boxes and satchels on carts like court reporters, why they were going in and out of doctor offices, why they tied up the receptionists for so long and why the doctor seemed to spend more time with them behind closed doors than with patients. Do doctors really need non-doctors to tell them what to prescribe? Don't they read medical journals and attend conferences?

4. there's a sign on my doctor's office door

telling pharma reps that since there have been so many of them coming to the office they are not allowed there anymore. they can call or send their materials to the office but can't come in anymore.

6. At one doctor's office the pharma reps go to the front of the line

ahead of patients who had already been there waiting. The normally cranky receptionist is so happy to see him, one of these times I think she'll just blow him right there in the lobby. I don't go to that doctor much anymore.
