I had to play doc once, when my HMO messed up my Rx card, and a raging sinus infection required attention. A quick trip to Mexico got me my meds and I did not have to see a doc. I am aganist people playing doc but glad there is a way to get meds if one really cannot do it the legit way.
I see a major problem with supply. If you have found the med(s) that work(s), you need a regular supply. Significant illness needs consistant treatment, for long periods of time, or for life.
Unless you live close to the north or south borders, and can go and see a doc and get meds legit, overseas mail seems an unsure way treat an illness. It is also possible that the borders will close (on this issue) if the DEA gets really rabid. I do expect the policy on overseas meds by mail to change. Even if it does not, the reports from this list indicate one has to hop around from time to time to get their meds.James
