Re: Suppose one drug costs your patients $20 and the pretty sales rep's similar drug costs $45?

...well, first of all it depends on your prescription plan and their formulary.

What may cost you $45 on one plan may cost you $20 on another.

So the doctor has absolutely no idea what your drug copay will be. And neither do you until you get the first prescription filled, unless you go online and check ahead of time.

If you tell the doctor that drug cost you too much and present him with alternatives on your particular drug formulary, chances are he'll prescribe you a less expensive equivalent for you.

Regardless of that salesperson's appearance or lack of free dinners.

As I said, I see no parallel in audio reviewing.
