Prescription Drugs Online:
All the drugs you want – and not a prescription in sight. The internet makes it easy for anyone with a credit card to buy generic or regular meds from pharmacies overseas. GPs need to recognise the new reality and adapt.
A recent survey found that 15% of adults questioned had bought prescription-only medicine online without a prescription. The top medication was sold as Prozac.
Evolution is, generally speaking, a pretty sedate affair. It took a couple of billion years for fish to evolve into human beings. And, genetically speaking, we haven't changed much in the roughly 100,000 years since. But in the world that human beings have created, change moves at an ever increasing pace. In the last 20 years, the world wide web has transformed the way many of us operate almost beyond recognition. The pace of change may be dizzying but the imperative to "adapt or die" is as crucial now as it was to the primordial amoeba. We just have a lot less time to think about it.
