Wonderful! That's all we need: just another piece of bureaucracy. How about just getting proper background checks (the kind the feds do for their own hires) on all the people who work in the OR, and stopping this entire circus with various schedule medications.
There was a time when narcotics were kept on the shelf, like most anesthesia meds, without any special accounting. Heck, about a century ago they were still sold without prescription in pharmacies, and still there were no more drug addicts than today (or anesthesiologists abusing them). Locking meds up is not a deterrent against abuse (especially by anesthesiologists), but hiring the right people is.
With all these pseudo "wars" going on around us, including the one "against drugs", I feel like in a mixture of 1984 and Animal Farm. I had access to cigarettes all my life, never smoked. I could get drunk whenever, never did. It wouldn't be difficult to get my hands on some weed, not interested. I don't think I am an abnormality, just an average educated person. Why all this fuss?
I grew up in a country where you could go to the pharmacy and buy most schedule IV and V medications without a prescription. Nothing bad happened, people were still seeing doctors, just not for every, single, stupid, thing, such as renewing a prescription.
