[ Plenty of stupid stuff comes through the front door too though. Some of them will come in 4-8 times per month. A little exploring reveals that they’re pulling the same crap at the other local hospitals too. This is their job, chasing narcotics at hospital ERs. Eventually, they get a dumb doctor who gives them their fix and writes them their script and it’s pay day. They are frequently white too btw. ]
I blame the ambulance chasing lawyers that have made it so that if a hospital take steps against this they would get sued into the ground by those a-holes....
I have probably visited the ER maybe half a dozen times in the past 20+ years. some of our frequent liars do that in a month and like I said, that's just my ER, they're pulling this crap at every hospital in town like it's their job.
