The other day a lady comes through the drive-through (thru) (she wanted to
be able to get away quick)  and gives us an RX from Florida (we are in
Seattle) and  it is from a Dr. Borges or Borghes.  It was for Percocet.
When she called us to see if it was ready I told her the pharmacist wanted
to speak to her she hung up and hasn't come back.

Come to find out  a couple of Dr's are writing Rx's for $200-$300,
supposedly, and then Fed Ex'ing them to people.  The phone number on the Rx
was disconnected and the Rx was relatively thin with the lettering being a
bit pixelated, not the standard sharp laser printer type either.   It was
the first one I saw.  It appears it worked before however since we filled it
twice already.

It is unbelievable to me what lengths people will go through for this stuff.

It makes me wonder how it really was before the Harrison Narcotic Act in
1914 (?).  Then she could just have come in the store and purchased a good
bottle of Tincture of Opium. No dope seeking customers (well not illegally
seeking it) , no police looking the other way, and no hoods on the street
supplying the product. Then the War on Drugs has produced countries like
Columbia that have had their whole government corrupted by the cocaine
trade.

In the province I'm living in, all potential drugs of abuse must be
prescribed on a special prescription pad that issued to doctors in limited
quantities by the College of Physicians. The Rx pad is cheque like with
security features so its pretty hard to duplicate. Its definately better
than allowing Dilaudid to be prescribed on any old piece of paper...

Hey Cap'n,

You guys should really be signed up for the local Hotline service.  Those
bozo RXs were noted on the Hotline 2 years ago.  Contact our local DEA
office, they're interested in that particular scam.
