How to tell a drug rep to shut up?
How do you politely tell a drug rep to shut up? What really gets me is when they tell me to check to DNS box! If the patient wants brand name they’ll ask the damn PharmD! Other than that my interactions with drug reps are good, they are knowlegable about their drug, they give me free stuff (expensive lunches, dinners, very nice pt education handouts). But sometimes when eating I think, ‘In the hour I’m sitting here taking about drugs, which feels like work, if I was working I would have made more than enough to pay for the same meal for me and my girlfriend. Just a ranting NP.
