Yes. I personally think it’s unfortunate that healthcare/pharma work is seen as “lesser than” other categories. Obviously for some, it’s not where they want to be and that’s fine but for others, this is a category they like working in or feel neutral about. I just don’t see why people feel the need to shit on it all the time or that they feel they are “above” pharma/healthcare. I get it, it’s not for everyone but neither is working on financial brands or auto etc.
Some people have an interest in science as at creative, project managers or account team members. There's way too many opportunities for people to downplay one another. Work in what you like and collect the check.

It’s cute.
No. I like to agree with them wholeheartedly. Then swoop in and take their jobs.
I might but then I remember how much more money I make and I feel better.
No
I don’t see as much as I used to, tbh. But no, I don’t. I find their delusions of grandeur about general advertising amusing.

Nah. It’s a reality check for all of us. There’s still room for improvement. After all, we work in advertising, not at a hospital.
If you want to advertise to HCPs I'm afraid there's no getting around the "huge blocks of copy." This is a highly regulated industry (and in my unpopular opinion that's a good thing). I sympathize with creatives--I genuinely do as I've been paid to be creative myself. But despite the word "creative" in your titles you have to accept that this a job you do to make a lot of money so you can afford to be creative when you aren't at work. If you don't have the time and energy to do that then you need to fight for your work/life balance.
