Rhea was counsel at a 503B outsourcing facility for five years before joining Wellness Wire as a contributing writer in late 2025. Her beat is the intersection where pharmacy law, federal enforcement, and patient access actually meet.
She does not read press releases. She reads warning letters, consent orders, and the occasional deposition transcript, and turns them into pieces the rest of us can follow.
The interesting question is almost never whether a compounding practice is legal. It is how the legality is being tested, and by whom. — Suleiman, in conversation with the newsroom
