Doctors are always happy to see a
friendly, travelling pharmaceutical rep

'I'll have to stop you there.
Time for a
commercial break.' |
although
cost may be a factor.
'She's from
Pharmo Pharmaceuticals.
He's from the Prescription Pricing
Authority.' |
Subtle 'bribery' is not unknown but
 |
there's no such thing as a free lunch.
 |
Reps
may have their own problems

'Prescribe
our new antidepressant or
I'll
have to kill myself!' |
of one sort or another...

'Before I start you
can treat the foot you
trapped
in your door!' |
but doctors have to admit that free
gifts such as ballpoint pens .......
 |
may come in very handy.

'As a
matter of fact I know the very
prescription to help get you better.' |
