I spent the majority of Saturday reading Dangerous Doses by Katherine Eban. The book explores the illegal and quasi-legal issues surrounding prescription drug counterfeiting, and gray market activities. Eban uses a string of cases researched, investigated, and finally prosecuted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement: As a way to explain the failings and dangers of the current prescription drug business model and regulatory environment.

If you read this book, you will probably no longer be able to pick up a prescription without spending an extra couple minutes taking a close look at the packaging, and the medicine within.
