Comments on Senators on Drugs

Very good analysis.

"Rather than focusing on gifts to doctors, they said, a better bill would ban advertising to the public."

How about both?

I said it before and I say it again... this sort of thing never gets enough attention. If you really think about it, it's much more important news than the terrorist jackoffs they caught in Jersey, but it probably won't even get a blurb in the crawl on CNN.

This is a correlation-causation issue.

Wouldn't the guy who is already perscribing tons of prozac to kiddies be the one most likely to want prozac swag?

Wouldn't the guy who HATES prozac and never prescribes it be the one mostly to not want prozac swag and gifts?

I would way more likely want a Metro t-shirt as the transit man than the cle elem resident who hates buses and wants them to die. I am also more likely to ride the bus.

Just food for thought.

Ban advertising to the public? That's the kind of paternalistic crap I guess we can expect from most legislators.

At least when I watch an ad, I can process it through my own bullshit filter. That's tougher to do with your doctor (or legislator for that matter), when you don't know where their payola is coming from.

@5,
Dig it. Well said.

What are those doctors thinking? Are a few payouts and some swag worth the inevitable malpractice suits?

FYI: It's Kohl, not Khol.
