He wanted the Vicodin.

Ten minutes later, he wanted the Norco.

Ten minutes later, he comes back in with his younger girlfriend.

And he says that the prescription flew away out of his hand in the parking lot.

And he expected me to write another one.

Right then.

Yeah, right then.

Well, it goes the whole gestalt of the patient.

And this is a guy that's in every two to four weeks.

Right, it's back pain.

It's migraine headaches.

But...

Besides that, it's just a huge problem right now.

I mean, the California DEA has now set up a program where we can register and you have to go through a background check, even as a physician, and you could put your patient's name in and get a readout of all the controlled substances they've filled.

So that's going to help a lot.

But literally, you have people that are spending seven days a week going hospital to hospital, ER to ER, and then selling and using.

Right, right.

I think a lot of it's generic.

But when you get into OxyContin, some of these, I'll report back on this in the future.

Because I've never looked at that, and that's a great question.
