Delivery Man: I Took Rx Drugs to Jackson Home

1. Hmm, different names...sounds like another Anna Nicole situation! If this freak would have eaten right and excercised, oh yeah-and not molested young boys, he would probably would have been able to sleep at night.

2. He could have been paying he bill for the family RX needs. My son pays my bill; which runs $2,000/mo for 11 RXs. What is funny is I do not have a serious illness. No heart, diabetes,kidney conditons. So why does my doctor prescribe all these. Each one is for a different ailment. Some taken daily, some not. U cannot determine drug usage of a person by how many RXs they get.

3. There has to be a better way to verify names on prescription drugs or these problems will continue. Drug pushing doctors need to be penalized just as an illegal drug dealer. Money talks and these people believe they get away with it......until a death occurs.

4. And of course the pharmacist thought nothing of all the different names on scripts being delivered to one home....I get that in the end the person putting the drug in their mouth is responsible however I do not get that these drug dealing Drs and pharmacists are not held accountable for anything. Yes Anna Nicole and countless other star types but what about us? What happens when we make the mistake of using this irresponsible , if not incompetent, pharmacist to dispense our medications? Can we trust his judgment on what drug interactions might occur, if he is choosing the appropriate meds etc.
It is not just about the damn stars with the yes men around them it is about us too and it hacks me off.

5. OK, delivery guy needs to be fired, that is a major violation of Federal LAWS for HIPPA, patient privacy and confidentiality. .

6. His doctors could be drug addicts.

Doctors should be drug tested.

It's pretty crazy that people let surgeons they know nothing about knock them unconscious and cut them open. No one's really regulating these guys. Not the insurance co, or the state agency, or the hospital.

Just because a doctor has a "clean record" is meaningless. Doctors get away with the most heinous acts and it doesn't go on their record.

People think they would've "heard" something bad about their doc, but they wouldn't. Even lawsuits are secret if it's through arbitration. Any doctor that demands binding arbitration should be avoided, or don't sign it.

Hospitals keep unfit doctors on staff as long as they are bringing in money.

Sometimes the doctors with the best reputation are the biggest danger because they hide behind their impressive resume, and no one would believe the truth.

8. Wonder how much this guy got paid. People coming out of the wood work saying how they warned him and he begged for drugs and they delivered all sorts of drugs. We get it. He took a lot of rx drugs for a lot of different things. All these people he was surrounded by gave them to him. Yes he is an adult and can make his own decisions, but when you start out so young with people giving you all sorts of stuff it kinda sticks with you. If he had never been famous would he have been addicted? Probably not. But when you are a celebrity and have money you can get all sorts of stuff that normal people can't. And instead of these people around him trying alternative methods of pain management or helping him sleep, they just pushed a bottle of pills in front of him. There is always someone there with their hand out willing to say "Yes" to any demand. If they know that they will keep trying untill they get what they want. If the people who surrounded celebrities actually cared about more than their bank accounts and what they could get out of it then they would do everything they could to not let this kind of thing ever start.

12. These hysterical comments are lame.

Alcohol is the most damaging and most addictive and most available substance and it flows freely. How many of you hypocritical squawkers booze it up, get high etc.

People are going to take drugs and gets drugs. Your stupid comments are gonna make idiot lawmakers waste our time and run and make more stupid useless laws criminalizing patients and making it that much harder and more of a privacy invasion to get valid prescriptions.

Jackson was a grown man and made his own decisions. He knew what he was doing.

The real focus should be on the doctors. Are the doctors practicing medicine while high?

13. This man is driving on prescription medication

14. Pharmacists have a responsibility to turn in doctors who are over prescribing or prescribing outside their field of expertise. For example, a dermatologist would not be writing prescriptions for general anesthetics, a plastic surgeon would not be writing prescriptions for prenatal vitamins, an oral surgeon would not be writng prescriptions for birth control pills. Some physicians have restrictions on their licenses. They cannot legally write for Class II narcotics, for example. Another physician may have a restricted license regarding writing scripts for stimulants, etc. Pharmacists that are aware of these restrictions have an obligation to notify the state medical board when they receive a prescription written by a physician with a restricted license. I had to do this once and the doctor's license to practice medicine was pullled permanently.

15. That is the same pharmacy used by Anna Nicole Smith's doctors.

I followed her case closely and remember it was the "Mickey Fine Pharmacy" that was used by her doctors to fill her prescriptions.
