Read this article for a more complete account of Scott and his drug taking. The article states a report was filed with the state claiming Scott received multiple prescriptions from multiple doctors, a felony in Nevada.

It may be a felony in NV, but if he was doing anything with the VA and their VA is anything like my local one, then it’d be absolutely normal to have multiple doctors as the doctors are ‘assigned’ on specialty; that is to say, you’d see a different doctor for allergies than you would for psychological problems than you would for physical therapy than you would for a general check-up... and even then they might referral out to civilian specialists.

Thanks for the link. It doesn’t show that Scott was seeking multiple prescriptions from multiple doctors. It merely states that the accusation had been made. The doctor currently treating him didn’t seem to see any painkillers he wasn’t supposed to have in the report. However, it does look like Scott was more interested in continuing his painkillers than getting treatment for possible dependency.

The guy was pretty athletic in spite of his injuries. He wasn’t some dude just getting high...
