What Can Happen When Doctors and Pharmacists Do Not Track Their Patient's Prescriptions copy

The Iowa Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) is designed to provide patient specific prescription data to individuals authorized by Iowa Code (IC) section 124.553(1)(a) and 657 Iowa Administrative Code (IAC) Chapter 37. A prescriber or pharmacist is authorized to request a Patient Rx History Report on an individual only if: (a.) The request is for the purpose of providing medical treatment or pharmaceutical services; and, (b.) The prescriber or pharmacist has a current practitioner-patient relationship or is initiating a practitioner-patient relationship with the individual named in the request.

“I imagine this is happening through-out the country “

We could be nuked, we’re being buried under cultural Marxism, we’ve got foreigners funding a revolution in our country, we’ve been invaded by 20 million illegal aliens, we’ve got an immigration system that’s out of control and we should be worried about this?

Actually this is a much bigger problem than getting Nuked by NK. (which is never going to happen)
It started back in 2000 in California.
This is bigger than crack, Meth or Cocaine combined.

The government created the problem by forcing Doctor's to treat pain. They were threatened with lawsuits if they didn't treat pain adequately. Then the government cracked down on prescription pain meds but allowed the country to be flooded with cheap heroin at the same time. It's almost like they planned it this way.

GA has something like this. It helps find persons who are going to multiple doctors and/or multiple pharmacies for pain meds prescriptions. I make no claims on whether i approve, or disapprove.
