BECAUSE, THEY WEREN'T LOOKING FOR GOOD RESEARCH, THEY JUST WANTED TO GET THE DOCS TO START USING THE DRUG AS PART OF WHAT THE PFIZER SALES REP CLAIMS IS ILLEGAL PREMARKETING!

The Pfizer rep who gave me this also added, "let me state the obvious . . . first they say don't follow up and then make us go out and recruit the docs - these people are nuts . . ."

And here are a whole lotta more e-mails proving just that:

[Sale rep name redacted]: we have clinic in the AM. If you want to come by with lunch
(enough for 20 people as we rotate with two other services), we'll be free by 12-12:30... that will get you the fellows and Karen and me! If not you can check with me Tues afternoon as I'm not sure what I'll be doing then.
