This book is a rare and compelling listen from a first time author that worked in the pharmaceutical industry with a Fortune 500 company, with some the world’s top physicians, in the halls of major medical center hospitals, throughout the United States. His insights as a representative, then a sales team leader, and finally as a Regional Sales Vice-President present some of the past and present challenges of our healthcare delivery system. How does the U.S. pharmaceutical industry perform when it comes to balancing the capitalistic and humanitarian objectives to sustain it as the cornucopia of new drugs, new research, and new cures?

From the offices of rural area practicing physicians to those serving the most marginalized patients, and to those in upscale suburban offices, Zamora presents the challenges and successes that are part of this dynamic operating culture. His folksy depictions of interactions with healthcare providers in almost every part of the country are sure to provide smiles, “aha” moments, and some concern.

This summarized review of 30 years with one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturing giants achieves it value in helping all of us who rely on accessing the best healthcare for our money. Some of the questions this listen might help to answer:

• Are we getting the best bang for our healthcare dollar?
• What challenges has the pharmaceutical faced and overcome?
• What can we expect in the future?
• What can each of us do to develop our own healthcare self-advocacy?

“Docs, Drugs, and Detailmen” is another resource to consider to achieve full disclosure of our healthcare industry.

Good Listening!
