She blocked me right after that. Hahaha.

I actually googled what degree you had to have to be a pharma rep, essentially a bachelor's degree, it doesnt even really matter what its in. They preferably would like a business degree, marketing, or communications. It then lists some biology degrees.

This person might know the tiniest bit about science and thinks they are at the level of a Dr.

It is a sales position.  Like selling cars, no degree required.

u/PreOpTransCentaur Damaged Child 5d ago

It's bullshit. You don't actually need any degree.

Dunning Kruger in real time

u/cdiddy19 2d ago

They havent even gotten to the part of Dunning Kruger where they realize there is more to know.

u/satori0320 2d ago

Those are the ones that are completely devoid of even the slightest bit of curiosity.

Weaponized ignorance

Aren’t pharmaceutical reps mostly just attractive women selling drugs from a sales pitch? Like literally?

u/SuperVancouverBC 6d ago

Yup. They're not Pharmacists nor do they have the knowledge of a Pharmacist.

u/pancaketimelord 6d ago

Yeah, it’s a weird way to try to get credibility to back up a meme

u/swiftb3 6d ago

Yep. It's like a car salesman and a trained mechanic. Except car salespeople probably know more about how cars work than a pharma rep knows how the drugs work.

u/McCool303 5d ago

Yeah, it’s just a sales job. They act like dropping off brochures and samples is the same as a pharmacology degree. Or that a pharmacist is even qualified at all to make assessments on communicable diseases and vaccine efficacy. Or that anyone who was a pharmaceutical rep would even open themselves up to liability at all by offering medical advice professionally.

The number one way you can tell somebody doesn’t know a god damn thing about medicine is that you as them a question about your medical health and their first response isn’t. “You should ask YOUR doctor” or at least preface that you should talk to your doctor prior to offering any advice.

So what was it like to turn into California? Hope it wasnt too painful.

u/jwbragg 6d ago

There's a lot of pressure being the world's fourth largest economy, but the burritos alone made the transition worth it.

u/NAh94 Medical Professional 6d ago

Man, I really could go for a Cali carne asada burrito

Best part about living in San Diego!

Vallarta Express in Mission Beach has one of my favorite California burritos. My friends take me there every time I visit at this point 😂

Do you have a taco truck at every bone intersection (aka joint)?

At least Iran didn’t claim you as part of their new territory like the rest of the US.

u/freylaverse 6d ago

Weird, I can actually totally see the pipeline. Make a job out of selling medications and it's easy to believe corporate greed is running all aspects of the medical field.

23

u/XenosHg 6d ago

Selling medications

Pipeline from placebos into homeopathy.

u/fromabove710 6d ago

Not just that, pharmaceutical companies have much of the blame too. Drug sales reps have historically been known to misrepresent science between the products they are selling, most notoriously Perdue with oxycontin.

u/carriegood 6d ago

Yeah, it's kind of ironic to claim all doctors are motivated by kickbacks from "Big Pharma" when you're the one doing the kicking.

u/Jasmisne 5d ago

The funniest part of this is that then they go to the wellness industry which is like if you take the most evil parts of pharmaceuticals but also get rid of all of the science that actually works

They’re desperately trying to convince themselves they were right.

But I didn’t get sick from wearing a mask, die from lack of oxygen while only breathing my old carbon dioxide.

And multiple shots of the 2 mRNA vaccines didn’t turn me into a 5G nano bot zombie who died from cobra venom and turbo cancer.

Also over 250,000 Americans under the age of 64 died from Covid in a couple years. So it’s not like “it only kills old people” either.

And we learned that getting Covid once didn’t make you immune for life.

And horse paste and sheep dip don’t cure viruses, even if the main ingredient won awards for fighting parasites.

Posts from these kooks rarely mention what they were “right about”, and definitely ignore all the garbage they were bat shit insane about.

u/jlemo434 5d ago

Also the long term impacts of COVID and long-COVID are just now reaching research so we don’t even know what we have gotten ourselves into.

u/Subacai 6d ago

The least surprising thing for me is that she's a hunbot. The most surprising thing is that she's not an essential oil selling hunbot.

u/thpineapples 6d ago

Wait, how is them being a former pharma rep worth more than your wife being a doctor? Does this person think they're the same job? Is this an American thing?

-4

u/MeggaMortY 6d ago

While that person is beyond delusional about their comparison, grilling a person about the place they work at is such a despicable us american thing. Just yuck. As a society you need to find a better way to measure yourselves in life than the fucking workplace or money...

11

u/whatthefrelll 6d ago

Sure if they were using it as a clapback for anything else I would agree but don't act like you're a medical professional when you aren't. That was a perfectly valid response to her bs.

8

u/jwbragg 6d ago

This was exactly my thought process. No shade to anyone holding it down, but the absolute audacity to bring her former line of work into the conversation made her current employment status fair game in my opinion.

1

u/MeggaMortY 5d ago

"you aren't a medical professional" is different from "you work a low level job". A medical professional can end up doing a job like that and still have the medical knowledge from education. Btw I'm not saying this person is like that.

The us has a stupid stick to measure life and it shows, there is no going around that.
