Not everyone who needs Vicodin or Oxycodone, etc. is a drug addict, or abusing it, and I think it's sad that the laws/regulations make it so hard for people who, as this woman said, "legitimately need(ed) them."Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965807056537672833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170591189521009207.post-54978840093808468132014-12-16T16:51:29.360-05:002014-12-16T16:51:29.360-05:00Well, sometimes there is a fine line between presc...Well, sometimes there is a fine line between prescribing a drug that is being abused, and somebody really needing the drug. The drugs she allegedly prescribed are commonly abused, or used for recreational enjoyment. I guess this will go to court and the courts will decide if she was writing legitimate prescriptions.

I believe that it is indeed true. Didn't think a nurse could give people medication in the first place.
