REPORT

Yes,
Took me a week to get the police report,
I took it to my dr, i finally got another rx...
No idea he got away w 120
My dr now is able ti submit it electronically so I do not have to go pick up hard copies.
Which makes it easier on myself as i work 7 days straight and am not able to always get to the drs office before they close.

Oh Melissa! I am so very sorry. Do you have any updates, yet?

Generally, what he did would be considered fraud and is a felony. Fraud is considered to be any time you misrepresent yourself, someone else, or something, in order to cheat someone else, including a pharmacy. In this case, he misrepresented himself to the pharmacy to get prescriptions that were not written for him. (I'm going by U.S. law for this description.)

As an example, I can legally go to the pharmacy and pick up prescriptions for my husband, he can do the same for me. However, if we stole prescriptions and misrepresented ourselves, plus did not actually give that person the legally prescribed medication, that would be considered fraud.

You would not be guilty of fraud, in this case, unless you helped in some way, or if you were trying to get multiple prescriptions filled for the same medication, to sell it, or abuse it. In this case, based on what you've said, the thief is the one that has committed fraud.

When it comes to controlled substances, I really think pharmacies should start requiring photo ID.

I was not involved at all

We are always the one they blame!! We're all looked at as addicts rather than people with legitimate, horribly painful diseases!! I thought that prescriptions for narcotics can be flagged and made invalid now??? Your Dr should be able to do that and then give you a new one!! Unless he's like mine and assumes you're lying...which a lot do now since DEA crackdown....the Drs are more worried about their licenses than helping pain patients because of the government blaming us for the opiate problem in the world. Buckle up. I think it's going to get even worse for those of us who truly suffer!!!
