...satire. It is nothing of the sort. It's a standard-issue parody of the inspirational-teacher movies that bloomed in the '90s (with Mr. Holland's Opus and Dangerous Minds) and show no signs of going away.

Sophie Robert, a pharmacist (like all other SCORxE reps), was visiting a family-medicine clinic in southern Charleston recently. The topic of the day: antidepressants. A family doctor at the clinic, Dr. Annette Anderson, spent about 15 minutes with Robert - far longer than she ever devotes to the six or so drug reps who show up unbidden every day. Anderson says she likes the idea of unbiased information delivered right to her office. She does, though, have one small suggestion for the program in the future. "Pizza," she says.
