I work in retail/community/chain pharmacy so I know many of you will say "suck it up, that's retail for you" but I am HONESTLY just AMAZED at the number of RXs I saw today.
Four, all in a row, with RXs per below.
TWO of them were friends... with RXs for the same thing, different doc.... ALL CASH paying, of course... (with some random "DISCOUNT" card, the AAA discount, whatever... one guy actually uses his 'real' insurance, LOL, $5 copay for meds that he can make $14,000 off of, that's a good deal... 80mg oxy goes for $80 per pill, right? )
Oxycontin 80mg (DAW1) #180, tk 2 ts po tid.
Oxycontin 40mg (DAW1) #90, tk 1 t po tid.
Oxycodone 30mg IR #540 (i forget the sig)
Xanax 1mg #120, tk 1 to po qid prn.
Eff me, but I did NOT go to pharmacy school so that I can fill these RXs so they can go to the 'other' market. I know this particular place where I was today is WELL-KNOWN in the circle of people who get their "RXs" filled, and boy, does word get around.
And if any of you try to tell me that I should believe that these are chronic pain patients, I have a Nigerian brother in law who is a prince and needs your bank account so he can wire you the extra money he has in his account.
I turned them away and told they could go to the pharmacy a few blocks down. I just got SICK of being played like that (seriously? you both come in to the pharmacy TOGETHER? seriously?)
Ok. end vent.
Question: WHAT is the deal with these docs who write these RXs? Oh COME NOW, monthly pickups of $3000 CASHED out RXs for oxy? All written by a handful of MDs? Does the DEA even care?????
