Psychological Warfare Techniques Used on Your Doctor
AllEmailDeletedImmediately
of the most potent brainwashing techniques used throughout the world,
according to an in-depth report co-written by former Eli Lilly drug rep
Shahram Ahari, and Adriane Fugh-Berman, associate professor of physiology
and biophysics at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C..
Pharmaceutical companies spend more than $15 billion each year promoting
prescription drugs in the United States.
These campaigns are designed to effectively alter prescribing behavior, to
sell more of the high-profit drugs (as opposed to the most effective, and
least dangerous).
..............
The fact that sales reps for drug companies serve no useful function other
than driving up sales for their blockbuster drugs -- at your expense -- is
no surprise. What may shock you though, is just how insidious their sales
tactics really are.
Last weekend I saw a woman who used to work for me 13 years ago. She wound
up going to a four year naturopathic college, but prior to going to ND
school she worked as a drug rep. I heard firsthand, detailed stories of the
corrupt and deceitful practices they use. I am hoping I can convince her to
write an article that goes into more details.
Rest assured that there is MASSIVE waste and fraud in the drug industry. In
the end, you are the one paying the price twice, by emptying out your wallet
and endangering your health with drugs you probably don't need in the first
place.
Drug reps are not your run-of-the-mill salespeople. They are meticulously
trained to spot the weaknesses of every client. Doctors usually believe they
are immune to persuasion tactics, and drug reps know just how important it
is to maintain that illusion.

That last is easy to claim, hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

Another bare faced lie.

That flaunts her obvious bias.

Mine doesnt get emptied.

But... This cant be! We have the bestest healthcare in the world. At
least that is what the Republican party line says.

EVERYBODY IS ONTO THIS CHARADE BY NOW. The repercussions have only
just started from Moore's epochal and timely documentary. I've
already seen one ad from the "Ad Council" in which people are laughing
and singing in a hospital waiting room while the announcer extols the
virtues of our wonderful health care system.
EVEN BETTER, as the winds of reform sweep away a health system run by
and for uncaring profiteers, a serious public view is now falling on
the dominant medical system in this country, its dangerous nostrums
and "remedies" dignified with the name "pharmaceuticals", its primary
method of "curing" people by REMOVING things via surgery and its
curious over reliance on MACHINES for diagnoses.

Sounds just like the happy masses propaganda straight from the soviet
union.

Eventually this shit is going to peak, and people will be demanding
their heads. This corruption can't go on forever, it has to end
sometime.

Have fun explaining how come it didnt happen that way in any first world country.
> This corruption can't go on forever, it has to end sometime.
It aint corruption, and that particular aspect aint ended in even one first world country.
It hasnt for a reason.

Oh stop with the knee-jerk party stuff. The dems haven't done
anything serious either, and they won't. For the same reasons.
Hillary's so-called reform attempt was pathetic and way too
complicated.
