This is in response to the article posted by Harrison in the Article Library. As a very grateful patient of Dr. Regan, as a wife of a physician and as an office mate of a psychiatrist, I find this article to be utterly offensive.
No doubt that there are physicians whose decisions are too influenced by drug and device companies but to defame any physician who sees a drug or device rep is to go too far. Where do you think all those free samples from your doc comes from?
And we all know that Ms. Lewis should have educated herself and sought second--and third--opinions.
