So they go to the doctor, sit in waiting room for x amount of time, finally get to see the doc, who listens, maybe asks questions and maybe does some kind of exam.  Typically then the doc pulls out a small pad of paper, scribbles a few notes and hands the paper to the person.  A prescription. And it is extremely likely that the patient probably can&#8217;t even read the scribble.<\/p>\n<p>Now they&#8217;re off to the pharmacist whom they probably don&#8217;t know and maybe never even get to meet or speak with.  The pharmacist, or more likely a pharmacy tech, translates the scribble and hands over a bottle of pills sometimes with instructions on how to take them.  And where do the docs and pharmacy folks get their info from?  A drug rep they don&#8217;t know who maybe claims to be able to translate the scientific jargon they read in a paper, or more likely, recites the buzz line &#8220;benefits&#8221; that their sales manager told them to repeat. <\/p>\n<p>And to top it off, it is not very likely that the drug that was recommended was used personally by anyone in the supply chain. Certainly no doc would ever &#8220;try&#8221; every drug they write a prescription for. <\/p>\n<p>Why do people do this?
