Thanks for that Daniella. I guess I will find out what happens on Wednesday.

About the drug company reps... You should see the medical buildings next to the hospital where I see a lot of my docs... Around the lunch hour, they are run over with these drug reps, who are pushing in carts of food, setting up lunch in the various doctors' offices and CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO WAIT SOMETIMES ON AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DOC... It is really outrageous. Sometimes there are so many, you cannot even get on the elevator.

I think the next time I go over there, if I see any, I will tell them my daughter wants to rep for a drug company, and ask them what kind of education she would have to have. I doubt that most of these people are educated in a manner in which they really know how drugs work and who they are best suited for...

There should be federal legislation introduced to prohibit the kind of behavior that drug companies use which makes it appear they are influencing physicians to prescribe their products...

Just my opinion,
Cathie
