PostHeaderIcon and i wish i was a better one

We wound up having a drug company lunch today in derm. I'm not sure how they managed to pull that off because drug reps were banned from our campus during my first year of med school, but we always get reps in dermatology. They drop off samples a lot. Truth be told, I'm a fan since then we give the samples to patients and they don't have to go out and buy the stuff. This way you can use something and if it doesn't work, you're not out any money. Or for the old patients who are in wheelchairs and can't drive, it means they don't have to find some way of getting to a pharmacy. I really feel like having free samples to give out benefits patients far more than it hurts them. One of my residents once did a survey (the abstract is on pubmed) of 10,000 or so people in some county in Michigan and discovered that most of them were against physicians getting free stuff from drug companies such as pens and golf outings. However, the same group of people was almost unanimously united in their support of physicians getting free drug samples to give out. Just saying. Anyway, my partner left by the time the food got there but I was stuck in a room with the nurse practitioner who had decided to explain the mechanism of action of TNF-alpha blockers to a non-medical woman. (it was painful) So I came out of the room around the same time the food was delivered and started writing up my note. After i finished, Dr. Dermafem asked me if I wanted to stay for lunch and I said I actually brought food with me. i also threw in something about how it wouldn't be fair to my partner if I got free lunch and he didn't but I was joking about that one. I didn't actually have food with me but really, I wasn't willing to sit through yet another awkward lunch, even if it meant I got free Mediterranean food. Seriously, I'm tired of it by this point. I used to kind of like them when I was in Bryan because it meant someone spoke to me and I could avoid my attending and I didn't have to...

Here's what I already know. Look for mileage, damages, make sure it drives good. Should I ask the seller to take the car to a mechanic to have him check to make sure everything's okay? I appreciate any help.

Roadside Assistance With a Rental Car

Well, it turns out they would have been charged even if they had purchased Hertz’s new Premium Roadside Service for $2.99 a day. The only ways they could possibly have avoided the fee and still had the car towed were if they had called AAA first or if the car wouldn’t start for reasons that couldn’t be blamed on them.

Under Hertz’s standard roadside assistance –- the one that comes free with a car rental and that used to be all that Hertz offered until September -– customers incur about $77 or higher charges for a host of road assistance services, including keys locked in cars, keys lost, dead battery due to customer neglect (i.e. lights left on in car), and cars that run out of fuel.

Hertz’s new $2.99 a day service, meanwhile, waives many of those fees. But even with the premium plan, customers would incur a towing fee if they chose to have the car towed, like my parents did, instead of deciding to drive it after roadside assistance came out to fix it.
