That's pretty normal for any doctor's office. There is almost certainly items from other brands all over the back area where the patients don't go, too. Drug reps go hard on the cheap freebies so the office will always have a reminder that their drug exists. If you ever see someone in the waiting room who is particularly attractive and dressed far nicer than average, that is usually a rep who is there to drop more goodies and shill their drug. As I understand it, it's a very lucrative job.

Fuck that. They aren’t coming near my office. I even bring my own blank lanyard to medical conferences because i’m not gonna wear one with pharma company logos printed on them.
