Big Pharma CEO came in to our class and gave us an unskippable powerpoint presentation to get us to be pharma sales reps

I go to a university with a medical school and they have these elective classes that all the students are required to take to kind of 'explore interests' outside of med school. <br><br>I'm pre-pharm but im thinking about switching to regular undergrad because the healthcare system is so fucked up.<br><br>Anyway, yesterday all the med students in my grade had to watch this powerpoint giving by the CEO of some big pharma. company (not sure which one but im 100% sure he was CEO he showed us his business cards lmao)<br><br>He was giving us this whole presentation like "Big Pharma is important!! it saves lives nonsensical hippie optimism won't get you anywhere!!" , ""it's GOOD that we are capitalizing off sick people nonsensical hippie free thinking won't get you anywhere!!" kind of stuff<br><br>It was like watching a recruiting seminar. He didn't stop talking about how GREAT it is to be a pharma. rep. Apparently it means you just sit around at your desk and wait for the phone to ring then you answer it and doctors/scientists ask you what drugs to prescribe their sick patients. Apparently it means you just sit there and watch movie after movie of pharmaceutical testing and then you answer some FAQs. Apparently it means sitting around at a desk while drug testing trials happen and then you go talking to doctors about drugs. Apparently it means you JUST SIT THERE AND TWIDDLE YOUR THUMBS AND WATCH VIDEOS OF SICK PEOPLE TAKNG YOUR COMPANIES DRUGS. Apparently it means you don't even have to take ANY pre-reqs or sciences. Apparently it means you get PAID SO MUCH MONEY UwU. <br><br>Apparently, this would be a "GOOD CAREER PATH" for a lot of us. (Isn't big pharma like... frowned upon????) apparently not. He went on for like 30 minutes explaining what a life of a pharma rep is like. (Sounds boring as hell tbh)<br><br>Then he talked about how big pharma. testing is GREAT and how it saves people's lives every day, and that animal testing is no big deal, that drug testing is no big deal, thatBig Pharma is not as corrupt as the people say. Apparently big pharma is self-regulating and they are able to find out when they're doing something bad because they "police themselves". Apparently they don't even need the government to regulate them. Ahh LOL<br><br>Then he went on another 30 minutes on the 'benefits' of being a pharmaceutical rep. He explained how it means you get to sit there and browse throughBig Pharma's drug library and then pick out certain drugs you want to market to doctors and scientists?? Apparently, the career is cut throat so if you dont work HARD then you'll get fired, and then you won't get PAID THE BIG BUCKS (like he kept repeating) .<br><br>Then he kept talking about how one of the BIGGEST CASHE COWS forBig Pharma is insulin. Apparently their company, with all the otherBig Pharma companies, spends NO MONEY marketing insulin, but somehow they get away with charging people thousands of dollars for insulin every month?? Apparently, the government NO REGULATIONS onBig Pharma, and that's GOOD???? Apparently the government has NO REGULATIONS onBig Pharma and that's why they're able to CHARGE EXORBITANT PRICES ....but that's also apparently GOOD???? (Isn't insulin smuggling a thing???? idk I'm pre-pharm)<br><br>He ended with, once again, howBig Pharma REP is a GREAT career for anyone to be involved in, especially us medical students. He said "we dont have to be doctors!!" apparentlyBig Pharma is self-regulating, and we don't have tocycles we can just use our STRENGTHS AS A PERSON TO MARKET DRUGS TO DOCTORS". apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating, and we will be HAPPY HAPPY WEALTHYBig Pharma REPS for the rest of our lives!!. apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating, and we don't need to have ANY MEDICAL BACKGROUND OR EDUCATION TO BEBig Pharma REPS?? apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating and we can just beBig Pharma REP after 2-3 years of college and then we will FULLY QUALIFIEDBig Pharma REPS!!!. apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating, andBig Pharma REP is what KEEPSTARBig Pharma REP!! apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating, andBig Pharma REP is what MAKESSuperBig Pharma REP REPBig Pharma REP!!!<br><br>Big Pharma REPBig Pharma REP nonsensical hippie optimism won't get you anywhere optimism justBig Pharma REP allBig Pharma. apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating, andBig Pharma REP is whatBig Pharma REP!!! apparentlyBig Pharma REP is self-regulating <br><br>Anyway, that was the CEO of someBig Pharma. company.
