Apparently some law went into effect last summer that requires when prescribing pain-killers that a physician must first consult the state’s database that supposedly has a complete list of all the prescriptions you’ve gotten in your life.

My son has brain cancer and is on many medications. He has used oxy for a long time. The prescriptions are short term and it is always a wait at the pharmacy while they check it out.
I think it is good that they are cracking down on all the junkies trying to get their fix but it is an inconvenience for patients who really need it.
“it is an inconvenience for patients who really need it.”
When doctors won’t prescribe them it, it’s a pain in the ass. I’m not worried about junkies who think they need it. I’m more concerned about the government making it so difficult for people who really need them.
Sorry to hear about your son. I’m sure that’s a difficult situation for all involved.
