This site appears to be one of the many Internet pill-pushers that dispenses potentially dangerous prescription drugs and other controlled substances to anyone with a valid credit card, although even that is debatable (see cheapphentermine.com.
We visited the site and were initially greeted by a price list for phentermine, an appetite suppressant and several other popular prescription meds, including Bob Dole's favorite, Viagra. Next up is a registration screen, where we truthfully answered most of the questions (first name: "Consumer," last name: "Affairs.com" password: "quacker").
Next, up pops a lengthy "agreement," which starts out by advising that our cyberdoc "may not conduct a personalized in-person physical examination" and goes on to say that the patient (surely "customer" or maybe "victim" would be a more appropriate term) agrees not to claim that care fell below normal standards simply because the physician never laid eyes on the corpus of the client.
The "agreement" is mostly mumbo jumbo, contains several contradictory clauses and, most glaringly, does not specify a governing jurisdiction or provide the legal name and business address of the parties. It is, in short, screen filler.
Next up is a consent form which includes such mind-benders as:"I AGREE THAT ALL ON-LINE MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS, DIAGNOSES, AND TREATMENTS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED WHERE THE PHYSICIAN IS PHYSICALLY LOCATED."
We also find this:"I also understand that At-Cost-Drugs.com is unable to accept returns or issue refunds for any orders of prescription medications. I agree to be responsible for all customs, tariffs, and taxes applicable to my country." "Do you have a history of drug addition?"

Surely this marks a medical milestone of some kind; it's the first time we can think of that a consent for treatment form has included a returns and tax policy. Anyway from here it's on to the "medical evaluation," the usual batch of questions including this one:
Presumably, the good doctors of at-cost-drugs.com aren't concerned with drug subtraction since there's no question about that.
We'll say one thing, though. These cyberdocs are fast. Why, before we even filled out the medical evaluation form, the consent form was talking about how careful we'd be taking our phentermine. Gee, they can tell what drugs we need even before we fill out all the forms. Pretty slick.
