Another example of the self-fullfilling prophecy syndrome. This guy was busted becuase of the QUANTITY of pain meds he prescribed. So... More doctors become unwilling to prescribe pain meds, so... The ones who are willing, get more patients, write more scripts, so... they also get busted, so... more doctors refuse pain patients the meds they need...

Where will it end? When the only pain meds available are black market, and everyone is a felon.

How similar is this to gun control? It's not about guns (medications, etc) it's about control.
