Tankerbrady, you are so right. My family member has had that happen and had to go back to get them make it right so now he counts his every time he gets them. Very good advise Tankerbrady!!
Felix it happens at drug stores also .you need to count your pills before you leave.there’s one in boiling springs on hyw 9 that will take a pill are two from you.
Yeah, PW…Felix is probably right. I know people who work in doctors offices that “supposedly” ( I do not know this to be a fact) take samples left by drug rep’s for doctors to give to their patients. I hear it is a common practice. Once again let me stress that this is hear-say. But believable.
That is a very good point, Felix.
This is most likely NOT a rare case. I would guess that it is highly likely that many hospital and dr’s office employees do this. This girl got caught and will have to face the music. Things being the way they are nowdays these nurses may be taking drugs that someone in their family actually needs but cannot get due to the cost, no insurance etc….just thinking out loud. Does not make it right in any case.
