You sound very anti-government and I think it would be perfect if you moved to where there is no government help or taxation. Perhaps a place in South America where you can hire someone for pennies to do all your work, and sit and bitch about the g'ment with the other fat white boys

I am not anti-government. I am anti-illegitimate government. Much of what government does is TOTALLY ILLEGITIMATE. American government was NEVER intended to be as pervasive and overbearing as it is. As such, it has over-extended itself and created MASSIVE debt. To point-out these facts does not merit your illogical response of suggesting I move to South America. The sooner you learn that much of government is not the solution to problems, but the cause of and worsening of problems, The sooner you might start to see reality for what it is and not what you hope it to be.

Reality hits ya hard bro...

OP
You seem like an AHole.!!
 
























SHAME on you and your company for pricing cancer drugs so high that it bankrupts patients and our healthcare system. Your actions are amoral and criminal. My doctor said he was going to do his best and not prescribe your products! Your job and company are the work of the Devil!

that was some decent biblical meme mashup work there my friend.

what you need to do is look beyond single companies and at the bigger corporate power complex and domination of central governmental structures.

the entire system requires change, or find a way to ride out the collapse of civil society.

do you want to be part of the revolution?
 












Those poor dopes don't make price structures.
Just a hold over from old-time marketing methods.
Too bad medicines need to be "marketed". !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah.... Damn that evil concept of competition, free-markets and private property rights. Let the government control everything. What could possibly go wrong?

WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another AHOLE ???
They are SO hard to find....NOT!!!
You guys should ALL get together sometime.
OH....you did !!!!!!
See: Tea Party/Libertarian/Republican
Sad bunch of greedy idiots with no idea as to their own personal lack of merit.
When your time comes for ...."it's just business"....what will you say??
 




Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

My Doctor doesn't permit sales reps to come to the office! He told me yesterday that they are not needed and if he needs samples, the company sends them via USP. As for sandwiches, he just calls Jimmy Johns and they deliver. Clinical information is replete on the internet medical journals. He said that the sales rep position is a joke and that they should be outlawed in American Medicine!! If y'all see a rep in your Doc's office, tell them to leave!

My Doctor LOVES sales reps to come to the office! He told me yesterday that they are AWESOME and a much needed resource when he needs samples. Most companies are very generous and his patients appreciate the free trial. As for sandwiches, he doesn't eat 'em. He and his staff prefer much better than crappy Jimmy Johns. Clinical information is much easier to access when someone is bringing it to you. Plus, he said that the sales rep position is a vital part of his practice and that he believes in the benefits of free-market values and competition. It is The American Way!!! If y'all see a rep in your Doc's office, tell them "Thank You"

God farts in your general direction.
 




What a pile of crap!! I am married to a doctor, she hasn't seen reps for 10 years. I used to love this job, now am embarrassed to be one of the long term survivors. Thank God I am old enough to retire, own another business, and am married to someone who has a good job. If I had to count on this gig for the long term basis I would be on anti-depressants!
 




I can conceive of a way to do the rep job that could be truly beneficial for both providers and the rep. The problem is, the corporation does not conceive the role the same way. In fact, their way reduces the value I can provide, and makes me want to change occupations.
For starters: The right rep, sufficiently trained and equipped can do the job of several employees under the current configuration. That is not only more efficient for the company, that rep now carries a much greater value to customers and access will improve.
Second: The right rep will get to know his customer's needs, preferences, staff, how to approach the problems when they arise, etc. and can be trusted to do the job with integrity toward both the company and the customers/patients. Everyone wins. No need for ride-along managers who interfere with the rep/customer relationship.
If you've been in this industry long enough you may have experienced this or at least a portion of this type of role? Perhaps that ideal is what makes you hang in there, in the hope that we'll get back to something like it? True, it hasn't looked too promising that pharma execs will ever se the light and fix the mess. And of course, it would mean more layoffs to trim down.
