And don't get me started on the OB/GYNs (both male and female) who push BC pills or methods that might suck for a patient, but who are getting a sweet deal from the pharmaceutical rep.

What sweet deal do you think OB/GYNs get from Pharmacy reps for prescribing birth control pills? There is no sweet heart deal. They get coffees from Starbucks for their staff on occasion, but reps no longer get to dole out huge perks anymore. Even when pharmaceutical reps could do more, OB/GYNs didn't get money. They may have gotten an occasional free dinner or a trip to a conference if you were extremely lucky, but those days have been gone for 20 years. OB/Gyns are professionals who prescribe medications that they think are medically appropriate for their patients. If someone buying you a Starbucks is enough to get you to prescribe BCPs for all your patients, it must be the best drug on earth or the best coffee ever.
