As a lawyer, I have a hard time listening to what you say because it seems that lawyers have "penis envy" of doctors. :) You must be a lawyer because I never once in my life have heard physicians “bitch” about taking depositions.

I wonder if they'd bitch as much if the average attorney was as attractive as the average drug rep. Somehow they find the time to meet with them!

I admit that I do not know for sure that they are taking the physician's time away, but that is my assumption. So, when I show up 15 minutes early for an appointment and don't get called in until half an hour late, I project part of the blame on the sales reps.<br/><br/>Is this founded? If so, isn't there a better way to sell these drugs other than during the day for a busy physician?

No, not cheesecake pictures, I want statistics. Are they really better looking than the average sales rep? <br/><br/>Sales reps in all fields tend to be on prettier than the rest of us. And they have to be socially outgoing. Ugly people generally aren't socially outgoing, right?<br/><br/>The only pharma rep I know is my brohter, and nobody ever accused him of being eye candy.<br/><br/>Somebody do a study!
