Considering doctors can’t prescribe themselves or their family medicine, I’d say self-medicating is probably your only option. Don’t worry though. I’m sure your dad shares this trait to deal with your ass.
FraTexas, your dad is violating medical ethics doing that. He can get his license yanked by the state board. Here’s what the AMA says:
“Except in emergencies, it is not appropriate for physicians to write prescriptions for controlled substances for themselves or immediate family members.”
– Policy 8.19
I doubt your dad will be TFTC if he loses his license. Your dad should have buddies who can prescribe the shit just as easily to avoid the entire mess. So there are really 3 options here:
A) You’re a lying sack of shit
B) Your dad has no friends
C) Your dad really doesn’t give a fuck if he loses his primary income
Hopefully C doesn’t mean foreclosure and eviction for you.
Actually, if your dad owns his own practice, he has medicine that he can just grab. I always get mine right away because all he has to do is go to his office and pick it up. Also, he has a partner, so for anything he needs to order, he can just have his partner order it for me. And although Fratanomics makes a good point with the AMA board quote, I’ll be standing in a pharmacy, and my dad will call the pharmacist and order something for me in his name and NO ONE CARES. I don’t think anybody makes a big deal about it.
HusbysPRep hit the nail on the head. No one cares, especially when you own your own practice and are on first name basis with the pharmacist across the street. A lot of the time, he calls ahead to talk to the pharmacist, so that the prescription will be ready, waiting to be picked up.
Sounds like you you did a good job studying for your pre-med exam though, fratanomics. Hopefully you’ll make an A.
I also heard that underage drinking is against the law. That’s just what I heard…
I get what you are trying to say but this really makes zero sense.

14 years ago at 7:02 pmReally contradicted yourself there, big guy. If you get it then it has to make sense. Simple concept.
14 years ago at 10:24 pmThis is the most stupid thing I have heard on here, people are going to new lows to have something posted.

14 years ago at 2:11 pmWere I underage or a pre-med student, I might care.
14 years ago at 3:10 pmYeah, I look up policies online to quote when I don’t care as well. But either way, I agree with you 100% that this is a terrible TFM.
