Judging by the pharma people that visit my MD's and cardiologist's office, they're all miss america candidates less than roughly 30 years old...

MCI did the same shit back in their day. A sales visit from MCI almost always consisted of 1 each: redhead, blond, brunette all of whom looked like models.

You should see the men too given how many doctors are women. Pharma sales is the most competitive of all sales jobs and doctors one of the hardest professions to sell to. The outcome is unless you has totally stunning and dripping in charm you are not getting into see the doctor.

I worked in sports med and orthopedics for a while and it was about roughly split between models and former pro/semi-pro athletes.
