Side Effects Page #3

How is someone without a job going to buy the

bread to make the toast?

Ohhhhh independently wealthy. I see.

I've been saving for this for about 10 years.

Saving?

So you're going to build it all by yourself?

I have a couple friends who will help me out.

I don't do electricity.

I learned that lesson the hard way... still waiting

for it to completely grow back (laughing)

(laughing) You lie.

So I suppose they told you it was all about helping

physicians help patients.

Oh yea. And objectively educating doctors.

It sounded great though.

An interesting worthwhile job with the added

bonus of helping fund my building project.

They just forgot to mention the manipulation,

bribery, the exploitation factor.

Okay, well it's not that bad.

Yea, it's actually worse. It goes all the way back

to the decision of which drugs to research.

Let's see. Do we make more money if we

develop a cure for cancer or develop another

useless drug for sinus infections?

Yea, but what about all the patients who are

helped?

What about all the patients that are hurt?

What about the ignorance of the doctors?

What about the ignorance of the reps?

You know I read this article once (clears throat) by

a physician that reps know just enough to get by.

At first I was really defensive about it. And then I

realized, we are just one sentence away from

complete negligence.

I mean there is just something fundamentally

unethical about tying profit to educating doctors

and helping patients.

Wow.

Wow what?

How can you possibly feel that way about it and

continue doing it.

I need the money.

Don't forget the car.

And the pension plan.

And the stock options.

And integrity and a passion for what you do.

And overall happiness.

There are other jobs out there.

You know your biggest problem isn't the industry,

it's you.

(sigh)

Excuse me Dr. Scott. What is your opinion of

pharmaceutical representatives?

You want to know what I think?

I don't believe a damn thing that comes out of

their mouths.

They'll say anything to push their drugs. Most of

them are dumber than a box of rocks.

Scourge of the Earth.

Glucadox is the most effective drug on the market

for the treatment of diabetes.

We have had a 60% improvement in our

production efficiency. We have the cost of

Glucadox down to 10 cents a pill.

The bottom line is that Glucadox saves lives.

Wow! It looks like Braden-Andrews gave us a

great deal, only 12 bucks a pill on Glucadox.

You cannot put a price tag...

...on the increased quality of life patients will

experience with Glucadox.

Well, I don't have that kind of money.

Don't you have insurance?

I got laid off.
