Our family doctor, forty years ago was kicking pharma reps out of his office on a daily basis. I asked him why (I was young, and so was he, just starting his practice), and he told me he didn't want to owe any of them anything. He knew what he was prescribing and didn't need any "help" from pharma. He never gave in and grew his practice in spite of them. A good doctor and a man ahead of his time.
