My First 2 Years in Practice

Hello everyone! My name is Dr. Huey. First name Bebi. I came from India to pursue a career as a psychiatrist. I cannot emphasize what a great career choice this has been. The drug companies representing my medications have been unbelievably supportive. I have been taken on an expensive cruise and eaten fine food, thanks to Eli Lily! Unfortunately, when I returned to my practice, I found one of my patients had been diagnosed with NMS (neuroleptic malignant syndrome). This was due to a rare reaction to antipsychotic medication. Fortunately, they have recovered but developed permanent seizures. For which I have prescribed Topamax as advised by drug reps, and I have again been handsomely rewarded!

Well, I know everything is so "hush hush" but we're on a private message board, so who cares eh? What kind of benefits have YOU reaped, or heard of from your colleagues, from prescribing medications? I'm excited! Have you ever suffered any consequences from prescribing a certain medication? I previously worked in manual scavenging in India, and boy, what a relief this has been!

This troll is way too obvious. 0/10 would not read again.

Drug companies got rid of cruises etc in the early 2000's

Yep, and since obvious troll is obvious he's also neglected to realize that *any* payments to physicians (including buying you a drink) are registered. There's a reason they ask your name when you are having a dinner sponsored by a vendor.

And for some very *odd* reason, there is no Dr. Bebi Huey (or even Baby Huey) listed on Eli Lily's Physician Payment Disclosure statement. Hmmm….

While this looks like satire, it's not hard to imagine it's based on actual experiences.

Dear me, the good doctor had NMS from one of his drug company drugs and was equally saved by the drug company!

Anyone have the IP of this joker's account?

Great link. 🙂
I always liked the Paxil commercial that asked, "Have you ever felt anxious about a social situation?" My thought was, "Wow! Great marketing, they are going after everyone with that one."

Chris Titus does a great bit about taking prescription medications….he wants to treat laziness by creating a drug called, "GetOffYourAssadone".
