I switched a while back from a doctor in a large Health Services suite to one with a private office. When I sit in his waiting room I see a parade of drug reps. Male or female, they are almost always young, attractive, and in well-tailored suits. (Though the newest ones, generally women being introduced around by male supervisors, are not always *quite* as well dressed, and sometimes stuffed in a suit a little too small for them.)
