Pharmacist hints some Congress members have Alzheimer’s
NY Post ^ | October 11, 2017 | Ruth Brown

Posted on 10/11/2017 2:22:24 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

A pharmacist who fills all the scripts for Congress members says he’s given Alzheimer’s drugs to lawmakers — who may be running the country minus their marbles.

“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Mike Kim told STAT News, reportedly citing diabetes and Alzheimer’s treatments.

“It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.’”

Kim owns Grubb’s Pharmacy, a 150-year-old DC drugstore that delivers as many as many as 100 prescriptions a day to Capitol Hill, the outlet reports.

Vacuous brained legislators are not hard to spot. Just listen to McCain, Waters, and Pelosi for one minute!

This is just the delivery of the legal drugs.

Nah, that's just Hank Johnson being who he really is.

The epite do not allow such close scrutiny. Watch for a ‘robbery gone bad, and this Patriot to be ‘tragically squelched.’

He's absolutely free to talk about the types of patients he serves, without mentioning names or specific identifying information. 'HIPAA' cannot prevent that.

Not the best business sense, though. He should have kept his mouth shut. He sounds like he's got (or had) a lucrative practice.

BTW, if I told you the number of medical professionals I have filled psychiatric medications for, you'd freak.

“I wonder if it is unlawful for the pharmacist to divulge this bit if information...”

If no names are given I don’t think it violates HIPAA. And I’m hoping someone can hack in to this pharmacy’s data.

Alzheimer’s would be the least of our worries.

Decades ago the capitol mds used the Neurologists at Bethesda Naval and Walter Reed to Rx some heavy anti psychotic drugs for the congressits. The congressits said a neurologist Rxed those heavy hitting psych drugs for neurological problems.

There are 535 members of Congress. He didn't divulge names. However, his quotes indicate he is none too pleased that the lawmakers have such dire health issues. Consider him a brave man for bringing the info to light.

Interesting that this story broke immediately after DiFi announced her plan to run for re-election.

Please send me a list of congresspeople who are NOT on drugs. You can probably scribble it on a matchbook cover.

They should have to go to the drug store like the rest of us. What makes them so special? Sick of these Royal Congress people.

Some drug stores deliver. Mine does, with no separate fee.

No, if they come after him the names sequestered in a dozen secret locations will be released!

I’m rooting for Anonymous or Wikileaks to get their hands on that list. That would be the hack of the century. (How hard would it be to hack a pharmacist’s computer?)

It would be perfect if the hack was done by a ten year old from sub sahara Africa from a computer in the local library funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

"Yes. HIPAA Act."

What part of HIPAA did he violate?
