Three of his doctors testified at the inquest, so he did have prescriptions. However, a prescription can't be refilled until it is almost expired. In Florida, I know morphine is prescribed short term, like five days. So to account for the levels in Scott's blood, he either overdosed the prescriptions he had, or he was doctor shopping to get multiple prescriptions or obtaining his drugs from an illegal source.
>>thank you for the info. was he legally taking the medicine?

OR his body didn’t adequately breakdown the morphine like the average person. I read somewhere, I believe on his father’s blog, that a doctor had recently talked to Erik about the possibility that the morphine wasn’t as effective as it should have been because of a lack of a certain enzyme that helped process it. [I don’t have the ref right now... If I stumble upon it and remember this post I’ll pop a link.]
