Did you all hear the report on FOXNews this morning? They said Rush received prescriptions for 2000 pills over 6 months. I did the math and that's roughly 1 pill every 4 hours. This is hardly an unusually high amount of pain killers.

That is an excellent take on it. It sounds horrible when they report on it in bulk.

If that is the case that's kind of low for the type of Oxycontin/Vicadin addiction most people know about. If I remember the original National Enquirer article the addition was for hundreds of thousands of pills, which is definitely way high (in multiple senses of the word).

Good catch.

Actually closer to one every two hours. (6 mos x 30 days x 24 hours = 4320 hours).

Still not an exorbitant amount
