Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #33693 Short Industry Pressure
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Another  way  in  which  the  industry  exerts  pressure  on  doctors  is  by  offering  us  a  variety  of    services.  In  one  of  these  services,  widely  advertised  to  GPs,  a  company  representative  shows  the  Practice  Manager  how  to  use  a  company  disk  to  trawl  through  the  practice  database  identifying    with  problems  which  might  be  treatable  with  the  companys  products.  When  that  has  been  done,  a  company-sponsored  nurse  interviews  the  selected  patients  and  draws  up  a  management  plan  for  the  GP  which,  if  approved  by  the  doctor,  attracts  a  Medicare  item  number.  One  of  these  companies  proudly  announces  that  over  65,000  patients  were    in  this  way  in  2005.  What,  one  may  ask,  is  a  pharmaceutical  company  doing  assessing  patients?  It  is  surprising  that  no  government  or  professional  body  has  stepped  in  to  prevent  this  commercially  sponsored  program.
