Drugs, drugs, drugs - Part I
Friday, June 12th, 2009If you have been reading the newspaper, or even flipping through the channels on TV, watching such shows as “Law and Order,” you have to know there are drugs everywhere, to be bought and sold, used and abused — marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth and narcotics. Not so very long ago I was a solo practitioner of primary care medicine and was in regular contact with another type of drug dealer, the pharmaceutical representative. Now this, of course, is a completely different animal from that shady-looking guy behind the high school or in the ghetto neighborhood. But maybe not.
