I'm sure no one here will be surprised about this.

Pharma sales people are quasi-escorts. Both male and female. There’s a reason they look the way they do...

Male or Female they are called “Detail Men”.
They’re the ones that have the white envelopes with tickets to the Bahamas for that 4 day professional conference on whatever drugs they are pushing.
Nice looking females are sent to see male Doc’s and handsome
guys are sent to female Doc’s.

The accusation was that she gave [doctors who used the new product] bribes disguised as speakers’ fees to appear at events touting the new product.

I am torn, really torn, with only this level of detail. These fees would have needed to be huge, well over what the doctors would have gotten for the equivalent time in private practice. There is a thin line that could be crossed by doing that.

This COULD yet be more government virtue-signaling than anything else. The devil is truly in the details. I have no problem with a powerful painkiller given to top up lesser painkillers in cancer cases — absolutely zero problem. And it sure sounds like this is what the drug had been intended for.

My wife worked for a male doctor years ago. She used to talk about the mini-skirted drug reps pushing their products. The doctor was not influenced by them.

My doctor is constrained in prescribing for me by what my insurance will pay for, regardless of the bribes given by the drug reps.

This has been going on since forever. They’re getting tough now because of all this new “opiate” policy.

Rx company reps all look like this gal. They are eye candy and are quickly tossed to the side when they start to age.
