Did you ask the patient where she got them? I don't suppose she'd be inclined to file suit against the folks who sold them to her. This is really scary. I was watching bits of a special on androgenic steroids on some sports channel. Couldn't hear the whole commentary (it was in a bowling alley) but I gathered that those too were freely available without prescription over the internet.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
