Quote:According to a Nov. 15 warrant to search the offices of Limbaugh's four doctors, he was prescribed 1,733 hydrocodone pills, 90 OxyContin pills, 50 anti-anxiety Xanax tablets and 40 pills of a time-release morphine called Kadian from March to September.

Those numbers stun McDonough, who says such quantities could have killed the average person.

''He's lucky he's still alive. If the system was up and running, it would have served to give him a warning and his doctors a warning,'' McDonough said.

Mr. McDoungh the drug zar shows how enforcement ignorance should not be allowed to interfer with medical decisions. The quanities that Rush took would in no way endanger a peron that was not used to opiods. This is the problem with enforcement playiong doctor. Lets break it down 7 months and 1733 hydo's is 245 pills per month. That breaks down to less than 8.25 hydro's a day. Where his doctor's made a mistake is that they should of had him on Oxycotin then that would basically break down to 2 - 40mg Oxy's a day. Why can't anyone in government have any common sense? The other drugs he received break down to nothing given the time frame. Some one anyone correct me if my logic is wrong? My bet is they didn't want to prescribe him Oxycotin on any long term basis for fear of prosecution. Looks like Florida OP pharmacies could have a problem. What a mess, did anyone catch 60 minutes tonight the "failed war" on drugs? The Federal judges are getting disgusted with the minimum guidelines for sentencing even the atty. that wrote the legislation is on a campain to have it thrown out. Take care. Billylll
