I have had personal experience with tainted drugs . . . my patients were harmed by them.

Could you please provide your take on generics vs brand names.

Why do drug reps spend such an incredible amount on perks for Dr's? Is it for the sole purpose of expounding the merits of their particular drug or, does it have significant impact on whether a Dr prescribes a brand name over a generic?

At the end of the day, I would not mind this practice as long as Dr's had to disclose the cash value of perks provided by drug reps to their patients.
