the power of brand name!

i think i want to comment about this, since we just had our pharmacology class on how drugs company can influence a physician to choose their brand than any other companies. and how a physician should no get too carried away with their flowery explaination and offers *our Dr gave an example of, u got the chance to travel to malaysia if u buy our products. REALLY funny*, but instead should investigate and make sure it is safe to be given to the patient. that is why it is always advisable to write the generic name. not the brand name. unless u want that free travel offer. LOL!

so todays class remind me of the power of brand name in our daily life. i dont know whether this phenomena is happening just with the people around me, or u guys realised this too? ok one example. maggi. OBVIOUSLY maggi is a brand name. but we simply say that "oh dh mkn maggi td" or "nak pg beli maggi jap". walaupon sbnrnya kita makan instant noodle yg berjenama mamee yg ada gambar mawi kt dpn tu *ok fine, atau felix atau faizal atau amelia* kita ttp akn ckp kita mkn maggi. kn kn kn? ke korang x?

second example. pampers *this the next thing i cn think of im sorry*. selalu x dgr org cakap "nak pegi beli pampers anak kejap". walaupun sbnrnya anak dia pakai diapers yang berjenama diapers *ada kan???*, atau huggies atau mummy poko, atau fine lah mmg pampers! bt i just wanna say that pampers is a brand name!

third example. ok i dont have time to think now *ada test forensic kot esok?? haha*. if u guys think there are other brand names that we used in our daily life, share2 lh :). so the conclusion is, sangat lah besar impak sesuatu brand tu sampai semua benda pun orang akan sebut satu brand tu je! seronok lahhhh maggi ngan pampers!

f-a-m: im sad! because today is FINALLY the FINAL day of surgery posting. yes this time is official! gonna miss all the surgeons. yessss ALL! :((
