Inducement?

Whenever I discuss about big drug companies I always end up getting pissed. These are a bunch of no good vultures and whichever way they think otherwise, it's cold blooded dollar and cents. I might get sued for giving my extreme views about them, but I couldn't care less, sue me if they want, I have experienced the so call "ethical companies" and the way that they deal and do things.

Some dickheads in the hieraki will claim that they are ethical and want to do the best to serve the medical professionals, but heck, we the GPs always get the raw end of the bargain. We consume and purchase the most medications, buying loads from them for we want to buy at the best possible bonus and hence cheaper, but we never get the best and cheapest prices, That is instead reserved for specialist.

I recalled a certain high blood pressure and anticholesterol medication, prices for us "normal" doctors with maximum bonusing is 30%, but for cardiologist it's 45% even in smaller lots. As it is, specialist charge much more then us and they get to have cheaper prices? I wonder what calculations is this based upon, fact is the reason other than wanting those specialist to "use" their medicine they would also want to the sell it to donkeys like us, GP, so that they can claim that this reknown specialist, so and so, is also using their medicines, and like true donkeys we also say, "yah hor, if he uses, I also have to use", dem blardi stupid.

We never get to go for CME ( continuing medical educations), we never get sponsored for so called overseas CMEs (or issit called holidays?) as those people sponsored never actually attend the conference. We don't even get a stupid poster or anything to hang, I have to ask them a few times for a stupid friggin poster, for more than 1 year now, it's still not materialised! I have yet to get my poster. The laughable thing is that I am buying medicine from them. Apart from that, we don't get anything, even pens and calenders also we don't fecking get. Those are "reserved" for themselves as well as their more popular doctors that they want to carry balls for. Why am I pissed? I call this double standards.

So when someone tells me in their 'oh so ethical way' , that they are sponsoring some priviledged doctors for "trips" overseas for CME, I get pissed big time. Oh yah, as for the vaccine for hawkers, the prices that I get from them is 35 bucks per dose, and from the wholesaler is 30 bucks! I will only get a 30bucks per dose price from them if I BUY 30 doses or more. U know what I think? go feck off u leeches.
