Episode notes
Early Drug Rep Experience
- Brigham Buhler, as a young drug rep, had a $17,000 monthly expense account to promote Cialis.
- This encouraged lavish dinners with doctors and highlighted the pharmaceutical industry's focus on sales over clinical expertise.
Shift in Pharma Hiring
- Pharmaceutical companies shifted from hiring clinical experts to attractive salespeople.
- This change aimed to influence busy doctors who had limited time for in-depth scientific discussions.
Limited Doctor-Patient Time
- Insurance-based models give doctors limited time with patients, about seven minutes on average.
- This time constraint hinders patient care and forces quick diagnoses and treatments, not root cause analysis.
