Hydrocodone and hillbiily heroin are ruining lives. Shame on the real doctors too. They all over prescribed

I worked in a doctor's office for years. Nurses, drs, assistants could all call drugs into the parmacy. There were no codes. The only issue was that any controlled drug, the type people would be likely to abuse, could only be called in for a 5 days supply. A written prescription had to follow the called in Rx. I'm sure pharmacists got suspicious when no written Rx arrived.

ONE great thing about this DR is he didn't go to someone's home and rob them of loads of money and then go and buy from some street punk only to end up shooting them for NON-COMPLIANT DRUGS

My doctor has been "posing as a physician" for years. I wish someone would arrest that ratbastard crook.

The only type of doctor he looks like is a "doctor" the pedals weed

Chances are he called in the prescriptions using a local Dr.'s name and info. Ordered scripts for himself then picked up the scripts as himself... As far as I know Dr.'s are not allowed to prescribe meds for themselves, so walking into a pharmacy and saying I am Dr. so and so fill me a script for whatever drug would not have worked... Most Dr.'s offices have numerical codes they must provide when they call in a script (at least that is how it was when my mom worked in a Dr.'s office) so chances are he somehow got his hands on the code and ran wild!!!

what a dumb ass, and what does a DR look like ??

He does not even look like a DR. Why would the pharmasist give him the Drugs?

I think the giveaway for him was when said to the Pharmasist "just give me the drugs... dude"

Why would he get a chance to play doctor in jail? Fail.
