want2bcalm-Being a careful, loving parent does NOT make you an idiot. In this world of confusing laws, "jailhouse lawyers", and people who fall prey to the environment of fear that certain federal agencies intentionally create your response was normal. Having three kids of my own I know the pain that a parent suffers when their child is hurt/sick.

Trampy-On the issue of "Doctor Shopping" I understand that there maybe a DEA website page that specifically uses that term and says that it is illegal. I will not attempt to dispute that since I haven't the time to look through their website myself. All I am trying to say is that I have never seen or heard of a statute, law, or regulation in CA or federal codes that makes that a crime.

I believe they are using the popular street term to refer to a collection of acts that make up the crime. If you go to "several" doctors and seek the same drug for the same condition or several fictious conditions then you maybe in trouble. I conducted a search of "findlaw.com" for CA, FL, and federal laws using the term "doctor shopping" and nothing was returned, which means there is not a law that specifically refers to that term. If you search www.findlaw.com itself it refers you to the story below about Rush Limbaugh as the only mention of doctor shopping. The media is the one who is using this term more and more. The hypes on the streets have used it for as long as I was a cop. I won't bring it up again because my intention was to releive people's fear, not argue over semantics or get people upset.

Limbaugh is alleged to have been seen by as many as 12 doctors in a 3 month period, most of whom were prescribing C-II meds to him. Now that, if true, is definitely doctor shopping, but even he has not yet been charged with a crime according to the story.

God willing, pain free days to all.



"At the same time, West Palm Beach prosecutors announced they were investigating whether Limbaugh illegally went "doctor shopping" to obtain the pills. The practice refers to visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions of controlled narcotics."
