Yep, cause he could have been "doctor shopping" to get those "meds". And we all know how the dems like to go after people who Dr/Rx shop.
Just ask Rush.
Ol Patrick deserves nothing less.
Probably didn't have to doctor shop - before the fact or after. He has a sis-in-law who is a doctor, Teddy Jr. 's wife! How nice for the family and how conveeennnient.
To think he is not only sleep-driving and voting under the influence, he and his bro are supposed to be the legal guardians of his mom, Joan - who they both agreed in public statements is such a sad case!
If he really did take these two medications (I didn't read any of the preceding threads about this little accident and any of his previous stories of the past 24 hours, but I will now) and also had a car accident just two weeks ago - at the CVS, no less - and if he really is bi-polar, then chances are he is in a prolonged manic phase, dontcha think?
I would think that the mania might trump the downer effects of the two drugs, which makes him susceptible to the ambulatory and other extreme activities while in the somnolent state. Could be he takes both to *try* to bring himself down a notch - which is exactly what an addict would do, self-medicating.
Since he's been to treatment before for drug addiction, his using is ruined for life and his bell curve will only get worse.
Having two wrecks in two weeks is about the same as the tree in Aspen for his cousin Michael, but Patrick lived - *this time.* If he gets out of this one, look for the next one to be much worse.
