He tells them to eff off. It does happen.

Pretty sure there are doctors who do take the bribes and prescribe that drug instead of a similiar drug.
The stupidity it burns. Hey google any drug prescribed by doctors, if there was any conspiracy to trick you into unnecessary drugs it would be exposed instantly.

I know its hard to imagine that a doctor would have your best interest at heart, or that with the freedom of information that any company could push/create a drug on the public that wasn't in fact anything better than a placebo.

Crazy how we need evidence and reality to rule the drug industry, do they companies push various drugs, YES, do doctors get incentives to prescribe them, sure.

Do those drugs have evidence to back up their claims, YES.

Does #####ing big placebo do the same, no, they make claims and have no evidence to back up their claims. Troutman has repeatedly showed us the many typical claims they all make, it would be hard to not find a scam/big placebo claim that does not do exactly what he has listed.
