weel, here is my litlle bit of info to shed on this matter. USPharmacyrx.com also uses pharmanet, hense all the shipping problems lateley. Well a freind ordered from uspharm. on Wednesday, had consult @12:00 noon est and received the meds today. Another friend had a consult today at 1:00 est...and she asked for Saturday delivery, althought the website indicates that meds would ship the same day if received before 3:00 pm est (that never happened!) anyway, anyone who has tried to sign in at uspharm is having trouble, I called to find out why, they stated that they were switching over from UPS TO FED-EX, and that it would be finished by tonight. after reading the post that pharmanet was going out of business, I called them. They said that they are NOT going out of business but there were a few ops that are not going to use them anymore (I know that unityrx is one) and posted above is buymeds...and I don't know who else. well, thats my little bit of light for today!

I have never had the courage to say that before, but I used to listen to the ShortWave Radio when I was a kid. The difference then between, say, BBC news, and our network news was remarkable. Now it is shocking. What is awful is the way certain stories are played up that are personal tragedies for the parties involved (Laci Peterson, JonBenetRamsey, Danielle VanDam) because there is surrounding personal details that make for lurid stories. Same with this. It is the same old "Confidential" breathless hysteria that we have been trained to only be interested in. Have you noticed lately that whenever a really relevant issue comes up, that really affects American taxpayers, and citizens, politicians and newspeople make a point to present it in a mind-numbed and obscure format, so that our little minds will just go away.
It's working. What is scary too is that lately if one pushes the point and demands clarification, that person is targeted as unpatriotic and a troublemaker. Oh, not good. You know, our current government (going back at least 100 years) did not write the marvelous Bill of Rights, or The Declaration Of Independence; so they can stop taking credit for it now, and walking around self-righteously like they arranged all this paradise for us. As for the current A.G., well, I am scared to spell his name out. I think he is channeling Hoover, McCarthy and the Witchfinder General through that himself and that makes it time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Well,
The way I see it, we are very fortunate to have the internet and OP's and pharmacies that are sympathetic to chronic pain people. But all good things come to an end!! I get the feeling that some day our luck will run out, and we won't be able to do this anymore just like smoking in restaurants etc. Just a thought...

Right you are Ms. Pink. And it's about time we made an effort for our side of the story to be heard honestly in the media. The stigmas and sensationalism have got to go.

Your analogy assumes a universal constant of legitimate physicians being "bent" one way or the other. Sometimes it's just a pusher in a lab coat who needs to be weeded out before they ruin it for the legitimate majority.

I've also given it a "1" for the second reason you stated.

Funny little side note here. I read the poll on the story and someone left a very colorful message, to say the least! It cracked me up! Check it out, and leave a message of your own!
