Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Prescribing prescription-only medications solely on the basis of a questionnaire filled out on an internet site is merely an updated version of "diagnosis by mail" and has been condemned by all respectable authorities for over 100 years. The Wisconsin Medical Examining Board has disciplined 1 physician for the practice, and authorities in other states have taken similar actions.
