Now why would Dr. prescribe a drug that was less effective? What a dumb, stupid, idiotic question to ask. Hey Mr drug rep, why don't you take a drug that's less effective, and let us know how it works for you.
mm
Drug rep didn't ask the question. It was a market research guy.
seriously scary .....
I know when I go to the DR I always ask for the LEAST effective cure....
I think my doc's been giving me the less effective ones just for the repeat business.
You should say "I prefer to prescribe drugs whose producers take me out to the best dinners" just to mess with them.
ERP- I've done stuff like that. They just write it down and move on.
"Do you prefer asking questions that are more inane, or less inane?"
Oh, yea, as a patient I like to take less effective medications; I'm all into 'woe is me' and persecution complexes.
...wow.
I sometimes carry a roll of Smarties and pretend they are medication and they are pretty darned effective.
Less effective of course! Keeps 'em coming back for more and supplies you with endless amounts of material for us your loyal readers! :)
of course the best prescription is the one for a less effective drug..!! that way the patients keep coming back.. :D and bringing in the $$
lol..
The best prescription is always for the least effective, yet most expensive drug. That way, the insurance company can deny the claim, and force the patient to pay some horrific out of pocket expense for a drug they think will save their lives. It will thus make them THINK it is more effective, and therefore soooooo much better!
What ARPS said.
Effective is immaterial, you silly drug rep! Now, whatcha got that has more than 10 life-altering side effects, must be taken on funky schedules, and costs enough to stimulate this tanking economy. Hmmmm?
"Oh, I MUCH prefer prescribing the less effective ones, just as long as there are interesting side effects involved."
Less effective obviously.
I think my insurance only pays for the less effective drug, regardless of the cost.
They know I don't really need the effective one.
Of course the obvious question is how many people in the survey answered "less effective"
Could have been a control question to see if the subject was paying any attention at all.
*scratching head*
I'm wondering what data is trying to be captured by that survey question!
Of course, could be a control question as suggested by Anonymous.
And companies are paid to come up with these surveys. And you don't get the pens, post-its & teddybears anymore, Dr G. At least that would mitigate the 'stoopid' a little lol.
A market research guy? With a
one-answer question like that,
whoever sent him would have saved
money with an online poll on some
blog somewhere. As Bugs Bunny
would say, "What a maroon!"
Less effective - of course - 'cuz I want to help regenerate the economy and then peeps will need to buy more, companies will need to produce more, it's all about jobs. And, I'm just trying to do my part.
That's what I would have said.
