Hoaxed

Hetracil is a hoax. I couldn't find Shetty Pharmaceuticals but didn't dig any further. Anyway, an eagle eyed reader got suspicious about the number of prescriptions and googled it.

So I got caught by a very well done hoax. Utterly believable which is a bit scary because it means either (a) I have a low opinion of American medicine/ethics or (b) American medicine/ethics could stoop to something like this and I wouldn't be surprised just outraged.

And this all leads nicely into the new Michael Moore film about the US health system, 'Sicko', which is about to get a Cannes premiere after the master tapes were successfully smuggled out of the US.
