Re: elaboration on the "doctor shopping" law PLEA

want2bcalm, you were pefectly fine filling those scripts when you got them due to the circumstances of his injuries or illness at the time. I had a 9mm kidney stone and my urologist gave me
vicodin ES on day 1- on
Day 3 my pain escalated to a 10 called my urologist and was told to go to ER, there i was given IV dilaudid and a script for Dilaudid for breakthrough pain every 4 hours and told my urologist wanted to see me in 2 days if stone had not passed.
On DAY 5 my urologist wrote script for Oxyxontin 15 twice a day and told to continue with dilaudid for breakthrough pain.
Day 7 one oxy left, still not passed stone so he again gave script for another 15 oxycontin and told I could take 2 twice a day.
Day 10- passed stone!!!I was kinda freaked about filling all these scripts for various strong pain meds a few days apart but I did because the doctors told me I could. Get this I was filling them at walgreens, the notoriuos i will report or not fill place. I had no problem with them except they said they didn't carry or fill dilaudid so I got that filled at the Hospital pharmacy of the ER doc that wrote it with no problem.
So if it is a valid problem and the docotrs are aware of each others scripts then you should be good to go. I am sure ole walgreens made a phone call and checked up on me with the urologist with the script from the different doc and also the few days and new stronger pain med scripts.
