You know, those, "Ask your doctor about blah blah blah" ads, which then go on in the long narration quickly about all the potential side effects.

There's actually only two countries in the world where this is legal: The US and New Zealand. Has always struck me as kind of pointless. I really hope doctors aren't being swayed by ads or patients asking about things because of ads. I doubt that's the case so I don't see it as a huge deal, but I really don't see much of a purpose for this.

This is the case, and it's a huge deal. The drug companies even send salespeople to tell doctors how much more money they make if the prescribe such-and-such drug.
