Great link!
I work in a doctors office and while I enjoy the 400$ catered lunches and cool pens the drug reps bring, I couldn't agree more. Mostly they are sales people, with like a few days of inservice on the particular drug they are promoting. Its mostly AD's and Cox-2's for this office. Yes, they advise the docs on the doseage and indications while they have little or no medical training. They just bribe us with food to get us to listen to their little presentation.
As for neurontin that drug made me almost die!! I have fibro and my moron rheumatologist gave me that in a huge dose to start. I had a panic attack, couldn't breathe, was so dizzy though I was going to die. It turns out it may work for nerve pain, but I have fibro. Its not indicated for my condition. Malpractice!!
