Well let's say you have a discussion with your doctor and they note there is a drug for your gastroparesis.

They might mention some names or might not.

You aren't ready so you basically don't ask for a script.

Later a week a month whatever there is an ad for Reglan on TV and you think "hey that was what the Doctor mentioned".

The ad is an ad, well done, so you in theory are now more receptive to taking the med. Especially since your symptoms haven't gotten any better. You are more willing to consider a solution to your problem.

So next appointment you ask more questions and walk away with the prescription.
