Seriously, they shouldn’t be doing that. Their physician will tell them if they need the drug, based on his exhaustive review of the literature regarding the product in question. It’s not like he’s just going to recommend it based on a cursory review of the literature the terribly attractive cheerleader/drug rep who it turns out just broke up with her boyfriend, left him to peruse. Is he?
