Drug rep quote of the day
"Wirth-Liss pharmaceuticals has an outstanding legacy of unparalleled neurological
achievement, and I want to personally partner with you to help meet the
lifelong goals of your epilepsy patients."
Oh yeah, you should probably find out what the lifelong goals are for your epilepsy patients. You know, since (s)he's going to work with you to meet those goals for them. Better start working out if you're going to climb K2, and start holding your breath so you can become the first underwater basketweaver to weave in every ocean.
And thank goodness we are able to put aside our differences and avoid sequestration for the good of the nation, the economy and more importantly ourselvss.
I have someone w/ epilepsy in hte family. He/she would agree with Just Me. She/he wants to drive a car, go swimming alone (or at least w/ people on beach not right alongside), to cook, walk dog, etc.
If drug rep can deliver that w/o annoying Skool Nerse, all power and glory to him/her.
What, exactly, is "neurological achievement?"
ReplyDeleteAin't no party like a synapse party, cuz a synapse party don't stop.
I mean, you know, except for when it does, but if Wirth-Liss isn't selling amyloid replacements, I ain't buyin'.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when I have a pharmacology test in a day; nothing but drugs on the brain and a brain on drugs.
"I want to personally partner with you"
ReplyDeleteI don't think Skool Nerse would approve.
Did she leave you her room key?

ReplyDeleteErin - lmfao...I wonder if the drug rep raised their hands in the ay-ar, because you know, in the pharm rep world they's a true playah!
ReplyDeleteI hate sales-speak. I had one the other day, wanting to "reach out" to me. I wanted to tell her to keep her hands to herself.
ReplyDeleteWho invents this language? Do they actually think customers like hearing this kind of stuff?
And thank goodness we are able to put aside our differences and avoid sequestration for the good of the nation, the economy and more importantly ourselvss.
ReplyDeleteSorry , wrong script.
Ummm...Doesn't every epilepsy patient want the STUPID, annoying, dangerous, unpredictable seizures to stop???

This reminds me of when one my own sales reps said to a customer "Let's sit down and do a little conceptional foundationing".
ReplyDeleteSo, to cut the crap, they are really saying:
ReplyDelete"We have worthless products but we want your money so please buy them."
My last name is Wirth, and kids in school always thought they were so clever for calling me Wirthless. Old wounds, Dr. Grumpy. Old wounds...
ReplyDeleteBreak off eye contact and back away slowly.
