I attended my state veterinary convention last weekend. It was a great weekend of catching up with colleagues, getting CE, and shopping for fun new toys in the Exhibit Hall. People may think veterinarians are bought by drug companies, which couldn't be farther from the truth. The goodies veterinarians get from the drug company booths include but are not limited to pens, magnets, chapstick, notepads, stress balls, peppermints, and dog poop bags. Not to sound ungrateful, but I feel like I could improve this list. Also, if people are going to think I'm bought by drug companies anyway, I might as well get some higher caliber freebies to justify their misconception. The following is a list of what veterinarians REALLY want from the exhibit hall. Enjoy!
If any drug reps are reading, I hope you take heed for the next convention. Personally, I will be sending this to all of my drug reps. Anyway, we can always dream, right? Either way, I’ll be taking your free stuff because it’s free stuff, but depending on what you have might eliminate my habit of walking by quickly, not making eye contact, and grabbing whatever I can reach on the table before a sales pitch begins. I’ve accidentally grabbed a cell phone before, so if you want it returned, maybe you can stop me with some awesome giveaways.
