"Dr. Grumpy, if you look at this data, you'll notice that as pain relief improves, the patients hurt less".
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Hahaha those reps sur r smart.
Sounds like an interesting side effect.
And when they feel strong, they feel less weak, but on the other hand, when the are weak, they don't feel as strong...
Or something...
Didn't we cover this earlier?
>:p
Doris- Yes, but apparently redundancy and stupidity never go out of style.
Is this "your favorite" drug rep? Oh--my wv is "emiste" which sounds like it could be a New Drug!
He's giving you the hard sell.
Terri- no, this was Rikki Phoneysmile, my most hated rep. The same one who did this:
http://drgrumpyinthehouse.blogspot.com/2009/05/drug-rep-from-hell.html
shut up and hand over the chicken.
Good Dr. Laura- Yes. That's the key to surviving these. Smile, nod, and dont' ask questions.
In other news, when you get into the shower, you get more wet.
Really? Do they have any data to back that up?
Astonishing! I would never have expected such stunning results.
Of course, whether or not the patient hurts less or just hurts differently is largely dependent upon the cost of the medication... :-)
You can't look at "this data" because data are pleural. Drives me crazy when I hear that.
I bet there was a nice looking color chart demonstrating the amazing correlation between pain relief and relief of pain. Some pharmaceutical genius probably got paid the big bucks making the brochure.
So her face is next to the word "astute" in the dictionary?
Smacking head, "Duh!"
Darn good thing somebody finally pointed that out!

Ya think? *eyeroll*
hope the lunch was better than the rep ...
Sounds like one of those unpredictable side-effects to me.
Drug literature:
Pain - Bad
Our Drug - Make Bad Go Away.
"But if you turn the paper upside down, then the pain level increases. And if you fold it like this, then you get a little paper hat."
Now I know you're making this stuff up! Everyone knows that our trusted drug companies would never hire stupid people.
Right?
Right????
