Looks like 1700-1800 over six months, when you subtract the non-analgesics. Taking 9-10 pills per day for severe, chronic pain is not unusual. Pain specialists have said this case is setting back pain management treatment 100 years. It is difficult to space prescriptions perfectly, when you have a patient that travels a lot. (That is also a frequent ploy by drug-seekers, "I'll be out of town when my next script is due")

Pain specialists have said this case is setting back pain management treatment 100 years.

I'm not sure I understand why. Do you mean that this is a valid way to manage pain and this case is making it look like it's not a good way to do it because of the investigation? Or are you saying that Rush's continued use of pain medication for his problems is setting a bad example for people who need to manage their pain differently? I'm surprised that this case would have any impact on pain management treatment in general.
