If you think you get drugs advertised to you a lot on tv, just think about what you get bombarded with at a doctors office. Generally every pen you touch, every clipboard you use, everywhere you look there is a pamphlet for some drug...all the posters of hearts and livers and whatnot are all branded with drugs...basically a sales rep comes from a company to "court" doctors into prescribing new meds for you...Chances are you wouldn't be on the meds you are now if it wasn't for some sales rep giving a doctor free office supplies and a classy dinner.
