The New York Times has an article about free lunch for docs from drug
companies.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/28/business/28lunch.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

There is a video you can watch at www.nytimes.com. Right now, it is on the
front webpage, under the head lines.

Makes me think that drug companies should not be allowed to give away free
lunch to docs.

The used to be a older seller trick that goes like this.

 The seller takes me out to see the product.  Since it is close to
lunch the seller offers to buy me lunch.  I now owe the seller something
and  in return  lose clarity of judgement and buy at a higher rate.  You
see it in junk mail where a small gift is inclosed  worth nothing to get
me to subscribe etc.

Human nature.

Thank You a keeper.

39% on marketing indeed the product can't sell itself.  Strange times
and I remember when there was no drug or alcohol advertising.
