As long as they give me a pill that I like and will help me......then yes!

No, in general, no industry. All industries are made by people and people are flawed, we hide things, we forget things, we don't tell others stuff we should. Each company is probably only as untrustworthy as its management.

HELL, NO. If they could be trusted, they wouldn't have to keep putting out commercials to tell you to go to your doctor and ask for their meds. They'd KNOW the DR. would give you what would help you... and it may just be advice to get into shape... Worked for a dr. and the drug reps have so much to give away- not to mention the kickbacks. She would leave patients in the waiting room, while she went in to see their latest offers. Also, the profit margin is comparable to the jewelry industry-- pheonominal. Unfortunaltely, greed rules much of our world.

Of course I do, it's some of the doctors I dont trust.

I agree that drug companies should spend less money on physicians; unfortunately, they must have a good relationship with doctors around the world in order to continue clinical trials that help develop drugs that save and/or improve lives.

NO WAY! One of my pet peeves. Don't get me started.

Of course - we would be lost without them.
