True story:
I sent one of my patients home the other day with a prescription for oxycodone. A nice, elderly lady with legitimate chronic pain. I got a call from the nurse who said that the patient had called saying that the pharmacy would not fill the lady's prescription. I called the patient who said that CVS said didn't carry 30 mg Oxycodone tablets and couldn't fill the prescription.
So I called the pharmacy and asked why they wouldn't fill the prescription. The pharmacist said that they had filled it and it had been picked up by her son. Apparently the son had xeroxed the prescription, cut it out, given her the copy and taken the real script to the pharmacy.
Scumbag.
