I dunno ams, but I reckon I've stayed in my fair share of motels and I've never locked the door, but I know if anyone goes outside, they have to knock or use a key to get back in.

 

I'll check next Tuesday night LOL


Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

That reminded me of a conversation I had with my elderly Mum just recently, she was concerned my Brother who is dying of terminal cancer might become addicted to the morphine, endone he is on. I had to explain to her, it wasn't important to be concerned about that.

 

Yes, I guess an addict will get what they want, anyway they can.

 

I just hope he is on the road to recovery, he deserves better.

Get off his back all you knockers, I wish him all the very best in his recovery. Only those in his position would know what he has been through. He is a great Australian athlete who has done us proud.

 who is knocking him?

Freddie, luckily I am not in that position...

 

Sometimes relief just has to be the thing

I swapped doctors. But how does my doctor at Dr A know that I'm not going to Dr B or Doctor C to get more scripts?

 

As far as they know, they're the only doctor treating me.


Would medicare have an alert mechanism of some sort for over prescribed addictive drugs for the same person?

Over the years, ways of stopping doctor shopping have been talked about, but that would require a centralised store of everyone's medical details, prescriptions, and pharmacy purchases.

 

not sure if that is against privacy laws, but it didn't happen.

So true, when you see a person in pain, all you want is for them to get relief.

 

Thanks for understanding, I admire Grant Hackett and understand he has had a battle, we look up to these achievers, and never think they have frailties.

I don't know freddie,

 

It's just sad. Without touching what he's dealing with, or has been dealing with to require the stillnox ion those quantities, imagine his poor mum!

I don't really understand why there isn't a database of patient details for an addictive medicine.  I know that if you try to buy Codral cold and flu tabs they take your drivers licence or whatever.  I was in a pharmacy one and saw a woman denied what she wanted because her name was on the do not sell list.  They actually had a list of names stuck on the front of the register book!

 

If a child is taking medication for ADHD, don't they also keep tabs at a pharmacy of when the prescription should be refilled?
