Kwikmed sales had crossed $28 mn till then. Are other pharmacy programs going the same way?

$28 mil! Not a bad take with low overhead. Maybe I'm in the wrong business after all.

After reading the article, it appears as if the company was circumventing the law by not having a medical review in most transactions.

This would get any physician in any state in trouble whether it be an online prescription or a walk-in patient.
