Eye-opening:
When I look back, I think it is part of the reason that they recruit people like me -– political science majors, history majors, business majors -– because I didn’Â’t have the ability to question anything they told me. I can’Â’t tell you how quickly I could get in over my head if I was talking with a physician about these things. Although I might have known a specific amount about my specific pill or a specific disease stage, once the doctor started asking questions outside of that, I would start to glaze over.

Some of those drop-dead gorgeous drug reps have a Pharm.D.
That means a graduate of five years of pharmacy school, where they learn drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, tag along on clinical rounds, and provide handy advice to physicians on dosing problem patients.
Those drug companies are far from stupid.
