Some drug reps find out what the Dr likes to eat and bring in lunch for Dr and staff. Makes them popular with staff. Some drug reps say they detailed a Dr but didn’t. Some get 30 seconds and call it a “visit”

If fewer doctors are agreeing to see drug reps, the drug companies will just need to find other more creative ways to influence doctors to prescribe their products and increase sales.

“…Prescribing change seen after three minutes with a sales rep: ↑52%…”

That is quite the impact. No wonder drug companies are alarmed that many docs are no willing to be impacted like this by visiting reps. A big hit on sales results.

When Big Pharma lobbyists ask: “Where do they get their information about medicine they are prescribing their patients then?” are they afraid that, without the influence/education of their own drug reps, their big prescribers might suggest OTHER meds for their patients?
