OP should have just denied having any extra pills left over when first approached by the nurse (or anybody else).
Denying you don't have any pills left over when you do is lying. It implies that she took pills she said weren't working. Doctors also worry about the effects of these pills on your stomach and liver. If they thought she finished a whole course of them, they may have been less likely to prescribe something else. Even if not the next time, the time after that. Doctors do have to answer for their prescriptions.
He didn't actually just use one pharmacist, he went to multiple. Some of the pharmacists testified that when they called the doctor, he denied authorizing them. Did you read the appeal I linked you to? Are you going to address that he had blank prescription pads from his doctor in his home?
A man going to prison in a wheelchair is still not an example of an innocent man. It may be an example of a desperate man, and that may explain his actions, but he's still not an example of an innocent man.0 -

You only found out about Richard Paey's case yesterday....YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT in his case (Just as you don't know what you are talking about in regards to "patient's rights" vs zealous prosecution of drug cases...Richard Paey's circumstances are not unusal...Most people just cave in and take the plea bargain agreement...Mr Paey chose to fight for his "constitutional rights"...He went to jail for 25 years (served 3) and only got out of jail because his story appeared on 60 minutes and the Governor gave him a pardon.0 -

Again, unless you have intimate knowledge of the details of the case, you only know what you are choosing to know. Despite that I only found out about the case yesterday, I can read an appeal and the evidence reported within. You, who has known about the case longer, hasn't been able to refute the illegal actions I've asked you about. You are the one asserting he is innocent, even though his sentence was never overturned, so the burden of proof is on you. It's also on you to show us these other innocent people. If you don't want to, that's fine. But if you do want to, I will look at the facts, not what 60 Minutes chooses to present.0 -
Sold them to her
This lol0 -
Report her.
Most definitely0 -
This nurse says, REPORT HER!!0

Why is this part of the discussion still going on? That case, no matter guilty or innocent, does not in any way shape or form resemble the situation that the OP is talking about. No matter what happened in the Richard Paey case, what I can tell from these strangely passionate posts is that Richard Paey was not a nurse asking a patient for their prescription drugs so this instance isn't in any way shape or form applicable to the discussion at hand.0 -

Well, most people are in agreement to report the nurse. This came up because of the mistaken idea that OP could get in trouble (home raids!) for reporting only the nurse and not the clinic and for claiming to have disposed of or flushed a single bottle of pills. I get your point though, and if Beansprouts wants to start a new thread, I'll happily move over there.0 -
But the reason you may read passion in my posts is because patient rights are a matter of law, and people should not be too nervous to tell their doctors the truth about your medical treatment. Scores of innocent people are not going to jail on drug charges for taking Vicodin that their doctors prescribed.0
-
OP, does your doctor write out your prescriptions or does your nurse? The reason I ask is because if the nurse writes them, then that explains why you were given another prescription for the pills, you had already agreed to sell your extras so she probably figured she had found a supplier. Report her for your safety and everyone else's that goes to that clinic. If she has no addiction, then the board will figure that out when they do the investigation.0

And "IF" I did have first hand knowledge....you can be damn sure that I would certainly NOT be sharing any of that information with YOU or anybody else in some internet chatroom!!!
******* PROFESSIONAL ETHICS ******* is what is missing in that Clinic that OP visited. The nurse is just a symptom of a larger problem...OP went to the doctor's office and got accosted by a mugger dressed up like a nurse...REPORT THE WHOLE FACILITY!0 -

Well, let's call it a day then. OP has repeatedly been advised to report the nurse. She's free to report the clinic too if she wants. OP isn't going to jail. If you want to debate RP and patients' rights with me, or answer my points, on another thread, I will, but not on this one any longer.0 -

I never said that OP was going to jail...The first thing that came out of my mouth was that OP was wise not to accept any cash!0 -
Health care professionals are not the only ones keeping track of those drug prescriptions...Narcotics agents also keep track of them too. Some of those clinics are little more than legal drug houses being run by "respectable" medical personnel. Some of those "professional" make more money selling legal drugs then they make from their regular paychecks. In some inner city health facilities, it is not at all unusual to have an in house agent monitoring what they believe to be suspicious patients. (Because medical professionals also know how to cover their own behinds).
If the "nurse" felt free to ask OP about buying her "extra pills" (that the clinic dispensed knowing that OP did not need them)...then OP had every right to to tell the nurse that she had NO EXTRA PILLS ...When the crap hits the fan...It is always better to have the authorities looking for missing drugs down at that clinic then to have them looking for them down at OP's or other innocent patient's houses.and yes...OP should report the incident. Nine times out of ten...The nurse is going to say what I told you...and the Doctor (when asked why he gave OP more pills) is going to say that it was a misunderstanding..ie. He thought that OP needed a higher dosage of her medicine. I repeat...REPORT THE FACILITY.!
This is the post I was referring to Beansprouts, where you imply that the police could look for the pills at OP's home. But it really doesn't matter. You and I each made our arguments and our points and let's just call it a day.0 -
RICHARD PAEY*****RICHARD PAEY***RICHARD PAEY!!!!!
One of many, many victims of the drug war.0 -
Hm. I wonder if one of you saying, "I'd have sold it to her" sold drugs to the nurse who treated me while she was intoxicated. If so, thanks a lot. That ended splendidly.
The only response that an intelligent, conscious adult should give to this scenario is "Report her."0 -
I'd get struck off if I tried that - many patients drive me to drink, but so far only metaphorically - and I'd have to log it on my food diary, anywayHm. I wonder if one of you saying, "I'd have sold it to her" sold drugs to the nurse who treated me while she was intoxicated. If so, thanks a lot. That ended splendidly.0 -
hahaha. sell them b*tches and make some money!0
-
this Vicodin sounds a heap of fun - it isn't licenced over here0
-
Report her. Simple as that.0
-
Read through just a few of the posts: report her. If she has some legit excuse or wasn't trained properly let her employers figure that out. If she hurts someone through her own negligence you don't want that on you- not even a little.0
-
to whom do you report her?0

to whom do you report her?
In this case, the doctor. I'm sure he would want to know that his nurse is seeking drugs from his patients. If I were a doctor I would want to know because she would be abusing my practice.0 -

If the doctor had been doing his job...IT NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. Report the whole Clinic!0 -

Does the doctor have eyes in the back of his head? I doubt he has cameras in the rooms due to laws. You can't assume the doctor knows about it.0 -
You have to report her to the doctor or your states' board of nursing. No choice.0

It's pretty funny that the person who just bumped it has 5 total posts and yet posted on page one of this thread over a year ago. Let it go, acf860.0 -
