    Specialists are well aware of new products approved by the FDA in their field of expertise. They receive this information through a variety of publications, internal health system meetings, colleagues and yes, advertising on television, conference programs/speakers, printed ad and the web.

    Drug reps are educated to promote products but they take valuable time away from providers who are already overloaded with patients, paperwork and production goals just to mention a few. If providers choose to see drug reps I have no problem with that but I totally understand why they are being shut out of practices.

    Samples have almost become a thing of the past as the industry moves toward infusion and bio products. It's my opinion that samples given to a patient project an undervalue of the therapy. I prefer they take their script to the pharmacy and receive proper education in administration, side effects and drug interactions.

    ALL docs, not just specialists, can educate themselves about new meds "through a variety of publications, internal health system meetings, colleagues and yes, advertising on television, conference programs/speakers, printed ad and the web." But many don't because they don't have the time. As you said, they are "overloaded with patients, paperwork and production goals just." As one of my docs (a specialist, no less) pointed out, "When I leave here I'm exhausted...it's unrealistic to think I'm going to spend time at home researching reading PI's and website physician presentations." This doc relies on reps to learn about new meds. And he approaches these interactions with healthy skepticism, which we all would hope and expect of our own personal doctors.

    And I've met MANY specialists in just the past 2 years who knew little more than the name of my two new meds.

    You are full of yourself. Which is shi!t! Any doc that depends on an idiot with a BA in communications should not be practicing. Now go pack your trunk and be quiet.

    Agree with this post 100% percent.
    I'm along with creating a law and or a movement that bans pharma reps from entering practices. Reps cause harm in more ways than one.
    Drug reps now days spew tag lines that a 4 year old could do.
    Get rid of them.

    The totalitarian's heart revealed: ban what I don't like, mandate what I like.

    Here is what I don’t like; 1. Canned presentations made by an idiot that can’t spell organic chemistry, let alone pass the class in it. 2. A company that has canned presentations around selling outside of package insert, putting unsuspecting patients in harms way. 3. Seeing anyone from a company that plead guilty to selling adult only psych meds to pediatrics. Unfortunately GSK, Pfizer, Lilly, BMS, all have a long history of getting caught puttin profits ahead of patient care. Heck GSK, Pfizer are multi time criminal offenders. Don’t think a mandate in this case is over played. You are nothing but a parasitic plague on society, and offer nothing of value.

    Met w/ four docs yesterday, and not once was any off-label use discussed directly or indirectly. And each appreciated learning about the med.

    Some reps are good and are always compliant, some reps are bad and are not. Your cartoonish characterizations regarding their backgrounds and behaviors (BTW, I have a science degree. ..but not interested in working in a lab or office) point to some other explanation for your opinions. For example, did your spouse leave you for a drug rep? Did one burn your house down? What?

    Lapsing into silence and communicating almost unconsciously with their eyes, they reflected that it was high time they found a decent husband for her. And it was like a confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions…

    Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.
