Bakit nga ba pumupunta sa clinic ng doctor and mga Medrep? Minsan mas madami pa ang mga Medrep na naghihintay sa doctor kaysa sa pasyente. Minsan, ang la-lakas pa ng loob na sumingit. Aba! Tatlong oras na nga na naghihintay kayo para makita ng mga doctor, tapos itong si Medrep ay pasingit singit lang, at inuunahan pa kayo. Ang masaklap, mga senior citizen karamihan sa mga pasyente. Nakaka ubos ng pasensya at ng oras, hindi po ba?
On behalf of all those people working in the pharmaceutical industry, our sincere apologies. We do understand all your sentiments and if we were on your shoes, we will feel exactly the same. Sabi nga, trabaho lang po. Pero, ano nga ba itong trabaho ng Medrep?
Medreps are just like salesmen, but instead of physically selling medicines to the doctors, they sell the merits of the product that they are promoting. The features and benefits of the brand are what convince the doctor to prescribe that product to a specific patients type or condition. So, pag and profile mo ay tulad ng isinasalarawan ng mga scientific studies na kayang pagalingin ng gamot na pino-promote, ma re-resetahan ka ni doctor ng gamot na yon.
Ngayon, bakit andami-daming Medrep? Noong panahon ng mga lolo at lola natin, konti lamang ang mga kumpanya ng gamot. And mostly, they are the one who did the research and development as well as marketing. As technology and manufacturing capabilities improve, the number of drug companies also increases. Fast forward to present times, even before the Cheaper Medicines law came into effect, there are several Filipino companies are engaged in manufacturing, importing and/or distributing pharmaceutical products. Dagdagan mo pa ang pagpasok ng mga pharmaceutical companies from India and other countries, which all of them wanted a slice sa growing market ng Pilipinas.
The Philippine pharmaceutical industry has contributed thousands upon thousands of jobs, and the majority of that workforce are field personnel, which in turn contribute to the economy of the country. So, pag may nakikita kang Medrep, konting pasensya. Kasi, kailangan nilang mabisita si dok dahil doon nakasalalay ang kabuhayan nila.
Pero puwede nyo kutusan kung pasaway.
Joke lang.
