Introducing … the All-Pharma Cheerleading Squad!

WTF!!! The drug reps in Vancouver don’t look like that – maybe NHL cheerleaders are less attractive.

I saw Romney at my doctor’s office on Thursday…a few days before the Big Game (which the Ravens lost). She was cheery and handed out autographed pictures to patients who asked for them.

I was sick and irritable and I wondered if my docs would see her before me, even though it was 11:45 and my appt was at 11. To their credit, they did not.

In fact, Romney never saw my docs. She left after waiting patiently for about 20 minutes, time she spent cheerfully chatting with a patient who offered this non sequitur as a conversation starter: “I saw a Janet Jackson video the other day. It was really good.”

I threw her death stares the whole time, which makes me think that you probably need the pep of a cheerleader to spend so much time in rooms full of sick people who are either shooting dirty looks at you or trying to make odd conversation.

S0 I say, Go Romney, Go!

Thanks for leaving a comment. Our criticism is of Big Pharma and not of cheerleaders. We know here are many highly intelligent and capable cheerleaders, but the evidence suggests that Big Pharma has singled out cheerleaders in their recruiting efforts for more prurient reasons.

It seems that most of the pharma cheerleaders listed only have qualifications in business/marketing. Only 2 or 3 had qualifications in vaguely relevant areas, such as biology, chemistry, nursing and psychology. This underlines what Phil and Cary have stated above.

I work at a community health center where patients only AFFORD generics-if that. The reps “Lipitor is 2nd tier twenty dollars crestor blah blah how much does a HOSPITAL stay cost?” My supposedly liberal Father says drug development costs money and some like pfizers HDL raiser DO flop. OK so tax the heck out of the top 5% of tax payers don’t make the working poor shell out a grand a month or ME fight their insurance companies on the phone!

PS the male reps are big jock guys (for window witches or maybe they think I go both ways!)
