In addition, the heroine – the first medical representative the girl that brought also some complexity in the work. She took a chance and convinced myself to take the risk of a doctor to use the drug even before its official launch (of course, legally certified method) that saved the patient from death, which otherwise would have occurred during the day. And this is just the beginning of an exciting story medical representative in particular and the pharmaceutical company. Moreover, the book profoundly touches upon aspects of the existence of other divisions, besides the obvious sales. For example – Medical Department – examines complications of drug registration; about the choice of «pure science, or science in a commercial structure» – to beat the pros and cons of this work as to the fate of one person, and different members of the scientific community.
Peter James «the Alchemist» — the book is not quite about medical representatives, but, nevertheless, we are not moving away from the topic of pharmaceutical companies. This is not a standard classic, with which are associated novels and stories. This contemporary artistic Thriller about creating and clinical trials of «magic» drugs that overturn reality. But the «good magic» only happens in fairy tales for kids, so – dire consequences that some scientists hide and reveal other, will make You in suspense to read, without stopping, until the end of the book. Here is more addressing the topic of medical Department, clinical research and scientific activity of pharmaceutical companies. However, it is possible to see how there are «launches» or «pregnancy» in other countries, how health representatives may assist the company, or to prevent misfortune.
And finally, a bit of a retrospective in «wild 90’s» sauce of the pharmaceutical business. The author of the book «pharmaceutical business. The true story of Russian entrepreneurs» Vera Perminova tells the real story of the formation of the pharmaceutical business in the post-Soviet period and to the present day. After reading this book, You will learn it themselves, their fellow medical representatives, commercial managers and distributor partners. It describes the processes which already exist in most pharmaceutical companies, funny stories ended positively or not, and… whole life in this one story…
I hope that this list will seem diverse, both in genre and in a temperamental sense, and You will not be bored long winter evenings!
