E-DRUG: Re: No Free Lunch

E-drug: Re: No Free Lunch
----------------------------------------------------------

It's interesting that this site (www.nofreelunch.org) uses figures that
state that drug reps have increased but does not tell us that so have the
number of primary care docs and never mentions the 90,000 PA's and
NP's that are detailed across America by these drug reps. Also the
products coming out are more sophisticated than in years past and
require more education from the company for the prescriber to use them.
Let's have some fair balance here.
