This comedic expose traces Reidy's experiences from Pfizer training to life as the "V-Man," when Reidy became Pfizer's number-one drug rep during the Viagra craze. With equal parts self-confidence and self-mockery, Reidy takes the reader on a hilarious romp through pharma-culture while revealing the controversial side of the drug industry. From viewing a circumcision to gaining a doctor's rapport to providing insight on why doctors choose to prescribe Drug X over Drug Y, and from how to bargain "sigs" and "scripts" to why the Viagra pill is shaped as a diamond, Reidy discloses everything.
A witty, behind-the-scenes look at an industry that touches everyone in America with a prescription, Love and Other Drugs uncovers truths about the pharmaceutical industry you'd rather not know and practices you'd like to believe weren't employed.
Love and Other Drugs has been adapted into a major motion picture starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway.
