@RadicalGraffiti Putting aside the informal added text for a moment, what is the meaning of the original text on that van? What does Amazon have to do with healthcare?

Prescriptions and telehealth. As if Zombie Jeff Bezos didn't have his grubby little fingers in enough pies.

@helplessduck @RadicalGraffiti So are they operating a mail order pharmacy business? Are they employing doctors and/or pharmacists?

@railmaps

Yep. Mail order pharmacy for sure. I think they would have to be employing doctors and pharmacists to write and fill scripts. Terrifying, no?

@railmaps @helplessduck @RadicalGraffiti I suspect this is only a thing in the USA (and maybe other countries with less regulation on healthcare or no nationalised healthcare provision).

In UK they wouldn't be able to use the brand anyway as a small company already has "Amazon Healthcare Ltd" registered, and another company called "Amazon Medical" exists which sell defibrilators.
