Before voting on this poll, consider that most of the "freebies" we get are
actually samples of the meds that we can give to those patients, i.e.
elderly and low-income, that don't have prescription coverage. Until
there's universal drug coverage, this is the only way that some patients
can have both meds and food. I personally don't remember the last time
that any drug reps brought any other kind of "freebies" other than
samples. Just food for thought.
