Even as a surgeon I’d have to spend time explaining to patients why I wasn’t using a particularly well-advertised drug. I’m sure primary care docs get it all the time. My clinic, at least, took the step of banning all drug reps. Doesn’t solve the patient-demand issue, but, I suppose, frees up some time to deal with it.
