I too like drug reps. Samples are invaluable for determining if something works or isn't tolerated. A bunch of samples can be a Godsend for patients who are down on their luck financially. If someone actually prescribes a medication only because the drug rep bought them lunch then I suspect that physician hasn't a clue about the area of treatment to begin with or a very big girth.
Generics are a double-edged sword. No more samples so need to take a flyer and write script. Hunt down "coupons" for indigent etc. Bummer.
