Some drug reps go over the line:

A weekly offer of coffee and bagels in exchange for two prescriptions a week was the last straw for Physician Assistant Carolyn Finocchiaco.

That was the recent pitch of one pharmaceutical drug seller to Finocchiaco, the associate clinical director of cholesterol management at Catholic Medical Center.

“She was back a week later and said, ‘Hey, you didn’t add those two scripts.’ Does she have a right to know that? I don’t think so,” Finocchiaco told a State Senate panel Wednesday.
