Ok, so the drug company are probably not really criminals. But most drug companies are and this one is high on the dislike list of most pharmacists because their reps are known to be extremely pushy and have a tendency not to take no for an answer (eg. I will say that I don't want any of product X because they loaded us up with it last time and we hardly use any and when my order arrives there is lots of product X in it which means phone calls and surliness on my part to return the stuff). But they are the sole supplier of certain products so it is in our best interests to maintain an account with them otherwise patients get a bit surly.... And account keeping usually involves monthly visits from the pushy reps who sometimes wear hawaiian shirts or other strange things to promote products.

But anyway, the ipod shuffle is a nice piece of equipment. I have put four or five cds on it so far and it is just over half full (they didn't give me the 1GB model for some reason!). It's very pretty and is a USB plug thing in itself (I was wondering why it didn't come with a USB cable). It also comes with a lanyard that I don't think I'll be wearing. Verdict: not sure if I'd buy one myself but I am quite happy to be given one. And I may become addicted to it...
