Doctors have an endless line of drug company representatives who are usually very cute, buy them lunch, offer them “expert paid speaking roles”, and encourage them to proscribe the name brand drugs and the latest drug that is 1% different than the previous drug which is now generic. Doctors like to have cute people buy them lunch and pay them money, so they often do it and prescribe the name brand drug.
