Re: Double/Triple Dipping?

I would recommend trying to find a compassionate local doctor. Do not stop looking. My personnal feelings are that I will not break the law by double dipping, no matter what the circumstances. It is very easy to get trapped on the OP ferrus wheel. It's also easy to justify breaking the law when double or whatever number of OP's one can use. I can't blame anyone for rationalizing DD'ing. After all back in the late 60's early 70's many of us were introduced to a new educational program called situation ethics, basically being taught to ignore the rule of law. Justifying our actions determined by what threshold we would reach before breaking the law. There are laws in place in many states for doctor shopping and if you get caught the penalties can be from one end of the spectrum to the other. Meaning probation with drug testing to incarciration. If you think your pain is bad now with a limited number of medications imagine what it would be like to be completly cutoff immediatly. Charges like these can ruin your life and at the least interupt your dreams. It's just not something I would condone given the ramifications. Do people get away with it?, sure I just wouldn't want to be in the percentage that does get caught and prosecuted.
Take care. Billylll
