Have you ever seen those brochures and flyers in the waiting room (and sometimes even the exam room)? Those are almost entirely supplied to the practice by pharma reps. Every U.S. doctor's office I've been in for the last four decades has been full of them.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoI have seen zero such brochures in every US doctor’s office I have visited. Zero. Is there any study that shows how prevalent they are?
- andsoitis 3y agoBesides brochures, these ads also come in the form of posters and bulletin board posts. Next time, also look at the walls.
- salad-tycoon 3y agoNot to say that you had a very unique set of experiences but having been in many doctors offices and worked in a number, in the US there are generally brochures, pamphlets, pens, note pads, and the worst of all TV SCREENS advertising pharma crap. The only place I haven’t seen brochures is my direct patient contract doctor (concierge) and even then he has natural herbal supplements for various things. So just saying your experience is atypical. But it sounds like a dream.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoCurious, are there any references? I have seen zero. Of course, I see tons of ads on TV so if the Dr.'s office has TV on, that may be one source. But I am curious about ads outside of the TV, haven't any like that in a Dr's office.
