[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 358655, member: 84"] This would probably apply as far as ERs and urgent care facilities. But honestly, I doubt many psychiatrists will pay much attention to it. Or any other doctor for that matter. Why? 1. Because they DO know the drug ads are plastered all over the TV 2. Because they have the training/education and can usually tell when someone is just seeking drugs and when someone is seeking help. ERs and urgent care's don't have that luxury because they don't get to know the vast majority of their patients. Except for 1 thing.......drug seekers are what we call frequent flyers, in other words they're in there all the time. But yeah it ticks me off because a lot of innocent patients get caught in the middle. And there is no since in it. My personal opinion? If a drug seeker wants it and wants to pay the doctor/hospital bill to get it.....let them have it. Cold hearted maybe, but they're just going to go somewhere else and get it anyway. And it would stop patients who are in pain who should be properly medicated for it to stop having to beg for medications a doctor shouldn't think twice about giving.:angry: [/QUOTE]
