It is evident that a knowledge of medicine is indispensable for the discovery, development and, indeed, for the marketing of medicines. That is why the pharmaceutical industry has to employ physicians in research and marketing. However, this group of employees has always presented special problems. What I have to say relates to physicians, i.e. doctors who have trained as clinicians and who, initially at least, were drawn to clinical medicine. My remarks do not apply to pharmacologists, toxicologists and biochemists, i.e. natural scientists, who may have pursued their basic studies in a medical faculty and obtained a degree in medicine.
显然，医学知识对于药物的发现、开发乃至营销都是不可或缺的。这就是制药行业必须在研发和营销部门聘用医生的原因。然而，这一群体的员工一直存在特殊问题。我要说的内容涉及临床医生，即那些接受过临床培训且至少最初投身于临床医学领域的医生。我的言论不适用于药理学家、毒理学家和生物化学家，即那些可能在医学院完成基础学业并获得医学学位的自然科学家。
