Ted, > BS. Don't be so naive. There is no money in the deal. No drugs, no perks You are greatly exaggerating the relationship between doctors and Big Pharma. The truth is far more mundane than you make it out to be. See how this works, Ten. I gave you three independent examples citing problems....usually that's what's needed to convince you guys there is a problem. And still I am wrong. You ignore the fact that my cousin.....a close, first cousin is an MD. You pretend that the BM is some hippie, holistic remedy. The truth is you don't want to know the truth on any subject that might upset your view of the world. Big Pharma can host doctors on "educational seminars" and give out free pens and stationery, but doctors are under NO obligation to prescribe their drugs. None. Nada. Zilch. Then why do they....time after time after time? n other words, there really is "no money in the deal." Whatever you say. I guess free hunting and boating trips are not really money. Thanks for the heads up.
