A neighbor of mine worked as a rep for a major pharma co for over 25 years, and the stuff he told all of us about how docs threw away the literature on side effects, contraindications and addiction that he was required to hand to them on every drug, the trips to tropical resorts they earned for prescribing/selling the most drugs to patients, the bonuses that he made by convincing all his MD customers to buy, but, buy, etc. He never touched a drug, even though he had a sample of just about everything in his possession, which told me I’d been doing the right thiung all my life...
Oops-”thing”...
