Back in November I wrote a blog………
Inquiring why can’t there be some kind of Data Base in the state that can alert either the doctor or the pharmacy that this person has received several prescriptions of narcotics?
Abuse of prescription drugs to get high has become increasingly prevalent among teens and young adults. While heroin is probably the # 1 killer, prescription drugs come in a close second.
Prescription painkillers — which kill thousands of Americans a year — has become a largely unrecognized epidemic, experts say.
In fact, prescription drugs cause most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year, says Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Well here is a N.Y. State Attorney General's Idea.....
The program is designed to make it easier for doctors to avoid overprescribing drugs.
But what about Doctors who really don’t care?
Trust me when I tell you this… the Addicts know very well what doctor will freely give out narcotics.
It must be up to the State to alert the pharmacies when the addict/dealer comes in to fill yet another prescription.
It should then be denied.
Right now, one person can get as many prescriptions for narcotics as they want. At as many pharmacies as they want.
Drug dealers doctor shop and get many prescriptions filled at different pharmacies then they sell them on the street.

It has to stop!
Tis the season…BEWARE
Pittston … From Times Leader
Police said two men posing as PPL employees stole jewelry from an elderly woman’s house on Thursday.
One of the men told the woman they were checking utility poles and meters in the area. He instructed the woman to turn on lights inside her house. As she did he looked through drawers, stealing jewelry, police said.
Police said the second man stayed outside. The woman realized jewelry was stolen after the two men left. Police said the man who entered the house is described as white, approximately 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and wearing a dark-colored short sleeve shirt and pants.
Wow.. Miners Mills got hit hard.

I cant tell you how sad this problem is. I have two relatives who live in the county owned highrises and they give & take these pills like candy.everyone gets their pills on different times of the month, so they share. I cant go visit anymore because i cant get a decent conversation out of them. I myself had two back operations and need to walk with a cane. when someone i know sees me with my cane they want to know what kind of pills i take and will i give them some. I dont take my cane out of the car anymore because i know alot of people and cant get over WHO how many people want pills
ReplyDeleteAs Summer approaches, and the need to leave windows and doors open, so does the opportunity for burglars increase.
ReplyDeleteWhen you leave your home make sure it is secure.
Make sure pets have water. If gone for a day or two, advise a TRUSTED neighbor that you will not be home, and how you can be reached. Have your mail/newspapers picked up. If there is an incident near your home and you go out to investigate, LOCK your home behind you.
Do your best not to become a victim this Summer, or any other time. Contact W-B Crime Watch to learn other ways to protect your property, and your family.
