7. Doctors get most of their "education" via drug salespeople.
8. Doctors aren't trained in statistics enough to be able to interpret even real studies.
So, there is very little *real* info for doctors or patients to go by for what the drugs actually do.
7.Where are you getting that information. My ex rarely, if ever, allowed a drug salesman into his office to talk.
8.Tell that to my ex and a friend of mine who works ER.
9.I disagree on what doctors know and don't know. The doctors that I know wouldn't prescribe something that they didn't know how it worked.
I feel that making assumptions concerning medical professionals and posting it here isn't exactly fair to the physicians and patients.
