Wrong way to tackle pill mills IMO. http://blog.plasticsurgeryinflorida.com/2011/07/new-florida-narcotic-rx-laws.html

Bunch of bulls***. The State is ruining private medical businesses one at a f***ing time.

 

Yeah, there are bad apples. There are so many better ways to go about this.

My sentiment exactly.

I'm not sure how it was done in "secret." I'm sure it's posted to the state gov't website, just like all other laws. They don't have a launch parties for new legislation.

 

Also, why is this a bad thing? There is a MASSIVE problem in this state with narcotics, immoral doctors, and pharmacies who are more than happy to fill scripts for drug runners because they make exorbitant profits.

Because people like members of my family can no longer get the medicines they need to function. You've obviously never lived in chronic pain.

This wasn't in secret. I feel like every single day I worked at the Herald the last 2 months there's been stories on this.

Yeah, I also knew about it before the article. It helps that my dad is a pharmacist, but still.

How does this change that? Pharmacies can still dispense these drugs. But these pain clinics are a massive problem. And this should help out with that problem. Doctors are writing and filling scripts in the same location, and it's not just a few bad apples; the situation is ripe for fraud, and there has indeed been lots of fraudulent scripts.

It hurts my dad as a private practice office in pain management.

 

And no, he is an honest man. He tells people to leave if he believes that they are faking it or do not need whatever medicine they ask for. Specifically if they request it.

Okay, but that doesn't make it a bad law. There are a lot of bad apples. I'm sorry it's bad for your dad's practice, but it should further the state's objectives overall.

That's absolute bulls***. There's so many better ways to go around this. Private practices will suffer big time for this. It's just going to create a long term shortage in doctors because the industry is being pissed on by the state.

What better ways? There are obviously tradeoffs with any legislation.

And it's not all drugs, just those narcotics.

I dont think you read the article:

 

As of July 1, 2011, most physicians who are not pain management specialists are no longer authorized to dispense Schedule II or Schedule III controlled substances

 

 

 

So your dad will be fine.

My Mom went to the doctor to get her pain meds refilled and the Doctor couldn't do it because of this new law and now I have to deal with "Phsyco-b****" as a mother as a result, Thanks Governor Scott. I regret ever voting for your dumb a**.

Your doctor absolutely could refill her, or if he can't it has nothing to do with this law which applies starting in January.

 

Also, how is a publicly posted and debated law, on the legislature's agenda, a secret?

Why can't you/she go to the pharmacy?

I thought I posted this earlier, but @fm, that seems confusing because I think the law does indeed target pain clinics for that new restriction.

The limits are on dispening medicine.

Yes, and my understanding was that they would affect pain management specialists, but the article says that it won't affect pain management specialists. I haven't read the law myself, so maybe I was misinformed?

The article was expressing an opinion that true Pain Management people (not drug pushers) would not be affected because they already perform the state-required work.

Ah, got it.

I'm only telling you what's happened to my family personally, my mother went for her normal medicine and the doctor was not allowed to prescribe it for her.

I think the doctor is wrong. Laws don't go into effect the next day. Maybe he was not following the law beforehand.

They were ordered to stop via phone call from what I understand.

They can prescribe, but they can't dispense them in the same location. Some wires must be crossed with your situation, because that doesn't sound right.
