Those pharmaceutical companies have HUGE marketing budgets, and here at PSB we have a concentrated grouping of their core customer base...ooohhh, the entrepreneurial spirit in me is tingling!
It could stimulate threads about particular meds, and it would also raise awareness of the marketing component of psych meds, one of my pet causes. Drug companies could also post links in their ads to websites with more technical information.
With the kind of marketing budgets they have, Dr. Bob could have a Porsche! Dr. Bob, do you want a Porsche? (Maybe you already have one - do you want two?) <grin>
This idea is kinda tongue in cheek, but really, they have big ca$h, and if you need money to keep things going, or to make things better, it might be something to consider. In the meantime, I'll donate some funds.
