Drug Rep Toys: Guidant ruler

This is an odd ruler. It's only useful with EKG paper, and really, if you are the kind of person a Guidant rep is dealing with, chances are you don't need a ruler to count out a heart rate. That's cheating.
Guidant, by the way, makes cardiac pacemakers.

What is this?

Drug representatives give out a vast array of trinkets in plying their trade. A while ago, while looking at the stack of pens I had amassed in a single day, I decided to start posting pictures of all the things I acquire from them. There isn't really an ulterior motive here, I don't think. Draw your own conclusions.

I used to try to update this once a week, but I've slowed down a lot now that pharmaceutical companies no longer give out toys (at least in America, I don't know about internationally), and that I'm a medical resident with much more limited free time. However, if you've gotten something fun or egregious from a drug rep, send me a pic and I'll post it. That and all other questions, comments, complaints and concerns should be addressed to drugreptoysblog@gmail.com.

Cheers.
