Sounds like bullshit to me.
Don't even with me today on doctors and meds and insurance and men in general, because today sure as flying monkeys is not the day.

Sorry you had an issue with your doctor. Realize that he may have had an issue with the pill you were suggesting and liked Ortho pills from experience. Ortho is the most commonly used pill on the market and is well liked by many MDs because it's a good pill. Most OB-Gyns won't switch pills at all until you've been on a therapy for 3 months. Maybe he had stock in Ortho and really liked to use them, but it would be really unusual for a physician to use only one drug because of perks from a pharmaceutical rep. Not everything is a conspiracy.
