&gt; Ummm.... no, they don&#x27;t. I have a friend who works in the industry and you&#x27;d be surprised how cautious some physicians are. The decision to treat a patient with a new drug isn&#x27;t &quot;oh! it&#x27;s better, let&#x27;s use it!&quot;, it&#x27;s much more complicated than that. Even great drugs need to be promoted.<p>And yet somehow the word on new drugs still gets to doctors in the rest of the world where public advertising of drugs is illegal. Any ideas on how this miracle occurs?
