Whitney Houston is Dead - Page 3

Believe what you will, but it happens all the time. Fake workmens comp. Fake auto accidents. It can go on for months or years before a doctor or pharmacy figures it out. Also doctors have had their triplicate RX pads stolen. Another big problem was nurses stealing the doctors RX pad or calling in an RX for a patient and picking it up themself. I probably did one or two BIG arrests a year. It happens!!,

I think this is where the benefit of faxing prescriptions come in. A lot of people have their prescriptions faxed to their local pharmacies here.

That too. We do that here too.

Around here, if you are prescribed a Schedule III prescription painkiller - you never touch the Rx the doctor writes out yourself. The doctor will call it in at the pharmacy themselves and when you arrive to pick it up, you have to show ID that you are in fact who you say you are.

One doctor around here I know of requires that you come back for a complete check up before he will refill your prescriptions. The others will let you get up to two refills before you have to go get another checkup. Needless to say those who abuse these pain meds know which doctor to avoid and which doctor will allow you to have up to two refills before getting a check up.

One doctor around here got caught intentionally over prescribing Schedule III pain medications to his patients. Two of those patients died from OD, he was caught, lost his license and is currently serving a life sentence in prison right now.

I've taken prescription pain meds before and I never felt addicted to them. In fact, they performed only about as well as Tylenol does. I took a Hydrocodone, didn't really affect me that much. Either I have a natural high tolerance for substances or the chemical make up of these just doesn't affect me the way it affects other people.

However I will say that Valium and Morphine can make you think that 300lb paramedic is doing cartwheels in the back of the ambulance.

Because I am the one who picks up the prescriptions for both my mother and MIL I made a request to both their doctors and to the pharmacy. The doctor's will send in the scripts online, I pick them up and about 30 minutes after I pick them up, the pharmacy calls either mother or MIL to verify that the prescriptions got home and to them. 3 years and no troubles. MIL does get something (not sure what) that is one that could be sold on the streets.

I heard that is is not always about trying to made themselves feel "good" , it more to do with trying to cope with the pressure from the public . Whitney said in an interview she felt like the public was eating at her flesh .

It depends what state you live in. CA has some of the toughest laws. A triplicate prescription can only be processed with the actual hard copy/original rx. They wont process through the system until we have the triplicate with the DA control # on it, that has to be log in the system before the prescription can be filled. All other prescriptions can be faxed or called in.

I just heard on the new today that she may had drowned in the bathtub. I read the polices are not giving out a lot of info as they do not feel comfortable about it. This is so tragic, she was such a gifted and beautiful woman and she was very generous in sharing it with the world. She will be missed . RIP

Do you treat an alcoholic by illegalizing alcohol or by treating him for addiction?

Another way to look at it is this: many people have serious addictions to food. As a result, some develop serious health issues, and even death resulting from those health problems. Do we illegalize food? No, we treat the addiction itself.

Really? I mean really?? You are comparing food that is required to survive to illegal drugs?

Foods are essential to live to illegal drugs or alcolhol that impairs your judgement and not.

In regards to addiction, yes. And incidentally, many legal drugs pose just as much if not more of a danger than some illegal substances. For example, morphine, a legal drug is far more addictive and will make you far more impaired than say, marijuana.

Abuse of substances is abuse of substances, no matter if they are legal or not. Addiction is addiction, no matter if what the person is addicted to is legal or not. It's the addiction itself, not the actual substance that poses the greatest problem.

This am, her family were told she had a little water in her lungs and believed she died before slipped into tub. Just another rumor.

E-scripts or online scripts have been around before Obama.

They'll reveal the cause of death sometimes soon. Heart attack is a possibility too as well. Women are at a higher risk of suffering cardiac arrest compared to the men.

That is what I said before. Abuse is abuse, no matter if they are legal or not. So why make it worst, by legallizing drugs. Rehabilitation is what they need.

Whitney possibly died of legal drugs that were obtained by her doctors. She made a choice to mix or Overdose on the drugs. How would have legalizing drugs prevented that? That is what I do not get. Everyone using Whitneys death, and saying it could have been prevented if drugs were legalized. Which to me is a bunch of Bullshit.

Whitney abused, asides from illegal drugs such as cocaine, prescription drugs, which are legal. It's not such a cut and dry matter.

Also, legalization of marijuana means less crime. As long as some drugs like Marijuana remains illegal, the US government is losing billions every year fighting the crime syndicates who sell marijuana. If this were legalized, it can be monitored, regulated and taxed and there would be no more threats of huge crime syndicates ranging from the Mafia, to Hell's Angels to many South American crime syndicates, the crime would go way down, as well as violence.

I do agree that some drugs which are very dangerous i.e. cocaine should not be legalized at all.

I should ask some of my friends about this when I see them. They're pharmacists and doctors.

In the state of Florida I know scheduled medication is tightly regulated, It has to be logged in the Florida system so people can not doctor shop for more drugs than prescribed to them. Another words they can not go to another doctor and get the same scheduled drug take it to a pharmacy with out it being flagged that the person already picked it up at another pharmacy by another doctor Rx. So therefore he gets flagged and caught doctor shopping for narcotics.

I also know that doctors can no longer "call in a Rx" It must be E-scripted, faxed or handwritten. In the state of Florida.

We even had a Pharmacist arrested a few months back for taking medication from his own pharmacy he had. All controlled substances must be accounted for and logged.

Now about the privacy of people. I never heard of people getting prescriptions under false names.

Any Sceduled drug the pharmacy orders has to fill out a DEA order form for that drug. Each drug that is dispense, disposed of, or returned is also logged with the DEA.

I agree it is not no all cut and dry. Legalizing still would not prevented her addiction nor her death. It is sad really...to see people using Whitney as an example to legalize drugs.

I agree that marijuana can be great for pain reliever. But it does have side effects just like any other drug. It also has long term side effects as well just like smoking cigarettes.

Marijuana also impairs ones ability.

Some people also have bad reactions to marijuana.

Marijuna like alcohol is addictive and can be destructive.

For anyone to think differently is obviously not thinking straight.

I do agree that Marijuana can be benificial for people that are terminally ill or in cronic pain.
