Canadian Meds

Canadian Meds is a work of fiction that highlights the world of selling prescription meds over the Internet. The business of Internet drug sales, particularly by companies based in Canada, has exploded over the last several years with the rise of prescription drug prices in the United States.The story follows Bill Callahan, a former United States corporate exec who becomes an Internet drug-selling czar at a company he establishes in Edmonton called Tundra RX. The company turns out to be very profitable for Callahan who substitutes fake pills for real ones and the business takes off on the back of aggressive marketing and in-your-face sales tactics. Along the way, Callahan is helped in his fraudulent sales effort by the Chief Medical Officer at the company, Dr. Rakesh Gupta. Gupta has his own demons to contend with, one of which is a nascent pill addiction that he satisfies by sampling the wares in company inventory, while another is his love of Russian prostitutes in Montreal.
