Title: The Perils of Ordering Online Pills
Post by: Lise on Mar 22 07 01:13
Really. Just DON'T DO IT. I just don't understand people to order online pills without knowing the source. Not to mentioned those ever popular spams about tgwpd.

 The B.C. woman who died after taking tainted pills she bought on the Internet got very sick in the weeks leading up to her death but never mentioned ordering drugs online, her best friend said Wednesday.

 "She complained that she felt like she had flu symptoms and diarrhea," said Glenda Billerbeck, who visited Marcia Bergeron at her Quadra Island home in the days before her death. "She said, 'My legs are kind of swollen up,' and she was tired."

 Billerbeck said Bergeron, 57, suffered from several health problems, including a bad hip and severe allergies.

Yes it is tragic.  

  I really can't imagine ordering medication on-line though.  I'm trying to fathom what would make someone think this was a good idea.

Having said that, I can't fathom what would possess someone to sell tainted drugs to someone who must obviously feel desperate if they're looking for pain relief (or whatever) off the internet.  How low can someone go.
