I work in a small clinic pharmacy in a big-city suburb. We have thick folders full of pre-signed Rx's for all our ADD kids (so Mom doesn't have to worry about maybe calling in a day ahead, before the kid is out -- heaven forbid.) I see more and more oxycodone -- we have a surgeon who prescribes Oxycontin for his knee-replacement surgeries. All these C-II's used to be only for high-powered stuff -- now they are everyday drugs. It is very worrisome. I could not agree with you more! I work in a small clinic pharmacy in a big-city suburb.
