I think it's "official". She is already prescribing me enough painkillers to kill several "normal" folks (if someone "opiate-naive" was to take what I take daily, they'd be dead in short order). I'm taking morphine, hydrocodone, etc. (My spine and major joints are decomposing and I cannot take NSAIDs due to internal bleeding.)
Then I would buy it online without the scrip. Or go to another doctor. I hate doctors who are scrip nazis. I won't go to them and give them money.
If's she's willing to Rx those, I have a hard time thinking she would not Rx flu meds unless she was constrained by law. (The morphine requires a special Rx, with one copy going to the State Police for record keeping, to track "doctor-shopping", so I know the government does "get involved" with certain meds.) She mentioned something about them being prepared to test people for bird flu before letting them have Tamiflu.
Take a look at those docs -- there is a massive "bird flu" infrastructure in place. Our Glorious Leaders have spent billions to create it, and IMO it ain't gonna disappear once the Bird Flu situation is history. We've still got a "temporary" phone tax from the Spanish-American war, not to mention the "temporary" taxes put into place for WWII. This kind of thing has a one-way ratchet. They're creating the means for implementing martial law "in all but name".
