### FAQ
**Q: Why is Pharma advertising so inefficient?**
A: When you buy a pair of shoes online, it takes 1 click. When a patient sees an Ad for a new migraine medication, they must: Call a clinic, wait 3 weeks, take half a day off work, pay a co-pay, argue with a skeptical physician with an ego who prefers older drugs, drive to a physical CVS, and then risk the Insurance Carrier flatly refusing to pay for it at the counter. A $450 'Cost per Appointment' rapidly degrades into a $23,000 true Cost per Acquisition.
