In my state (VA) they now have a database of narcotic abusers which one can query and immediately get a list of all narcotics filled by a patient. It's a great idea, as many of these patients have visited other docs for pain medication refills and the list can be used to immediately kick them out of the office.
I'm sorry to hear about the rough time this patient gave you, Steven!
