How many people in FL know it's against the law to "doctor shop?"
I know people who should be in prison if we have a law against it in TX.
I have seen only 5 examples of people charged with doctor shopping, all of which had more serious charges tied to them such as dealing and fraud. I don't know if anyone is in jail for this. The law is really a bad law, because you could be found guilty of 'doctor shopping' by visiting as few as two doctors in a 30 day period. The catch is you have to try to obtain the similar prescription for the same purpose, not disclose your previous presciption to the other doctor. The Florida legislature made the bar very low for this 'third-degree felony' as many people could unwittingly violate this.
