Other than letting your program know immediately, what does the process entail?

Is your name on it?

The thing is that lay people have NO idea how to write a script. On top of that for anything good they need a dea number which i assume isnt on the script.

Yeah, about that.

You wouldn't believe what some residency programs put on a script.

Your program should let you know what to do. Pads get stolen all the time, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The worst case scenario would be a forged script that actually gets caught, and then you have to waste an hour in court to testify that it was indeed fraudulent.

My attending got a call last week about a stolen script pad, from a vigilant pharmacist concerned about an unusual spelling/dosage:

"Mophine, two pounds".

Nothing like a good two pounds of mo'phine in the morning.

Really? This happened last week? Seems to be going around.

Awww...you beat me to it. I was gonna claim Urban Legend (or at the very least, stealing from the EM forum - although your guys spelled it "mofine")!
