Yeah.
I think my pdoc is in his mid 50s, although... I also go to a large psychiatry/therapy office and I've seen these drug reps walking around and talking to pdocs. I guess they hand out sample packs to all the pdocs, and I'm sure that influences these doctors a bit.
I mean, I saw this about 2 or 3 appointments ago while I was waiting to be seen. I sort of hoped my pdoc would've used these non-generics as a last resort.
I wonder how often this happens in other psychiatry offices.
