The doctors get a GENEROUS FEE each time a drug rep sits in with a patient, so they are likely to present it to the patient in such a way to make her less likely to refuse. This is highly unethical! Also, remember that the patient is not usually feeling well and just wants to get service that day without making a fuss. The doctor and drug rep can count on that fact for compliance.
