Cafe Pharma: The Web Equivalent of the Men’s Room Wall?

Cafe Pharma (or Cafepharma) can be a great source of news on the pharma industry for sales reps.  However, it can also be less than professional and extremely negative.  Although maybe I’m understating…here’s a link to an article that calls Cafe Pharma the “cyberspace equivalent of scrawls on a men’s room wall.”  (I do enjoy a nice turn of phrase.)  It’s home to rumors, accusations, racism, misogyny–that’s helpful, huh?  (read with sarcasm, please)

Pharmaceutical reps are already the least respected of all areas of medical sales–behind laboratory sales, biotech sales, medical device sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, and clinical diagnostics sales.  Some of it’s intrinsic to the job, but chat room ranting doesn’t help.

What do you think?
