Listed are some excerpts from a newspaper article on OP's. "All a aptient has to do is decide which drug and what dosage of it he or she wants, fill out a questionnaire, and the drugs are shipped, no questions asked". "In Florida, the practice is illegal". " The medical Practice Act says for a perscription to be valid, a doctor must evaluate the patient. The state Board of Medicine has interpreted 'evaluate' to mean an in-person examination." "According to (The National Clearinghouse on Internet Prescribing), doctors who issue prescriptions based on an online questionnaire are outside the bounds of professional conduct." "And consumers caught with an invalid prescription for a drug could face felony charges." Just thought I'd pass it on.
