I had a dental procedure after which the dentist handed me a prescription for a Oxycodone. I handed it back to him, telling him I would never use it. He handed it back to me, saying he couldn’t fill it by phone if I had pain issues later; I still haven’t taken it.

Same here, except it was for Percocet. I told them not to send the script to the pharmacy, but they insisted. I picked up the ibuprofen 800s, but refused the Percocet. I hope the military has good internal controls, otherwise someone in the pharmacy got my prescription.

Oh, I had the paper itself; nobody else was getting that. As part of controlling the problem, the dentist couldn’t send it anywhere; someone would have to physically present the prescription for it at the counter.

This country is not serious about fighting drug addiction; if it was the penalties for dealers would be much more sever (Saudi-style, for example).
