Hugh, you're talking about Oxycontin. From what I understand it gives about the same buzz as heroin. It seems to also have some serious side effects since Rush has apparently lost his hearing.

He lost his hearing before that was known, hearing loss is not a common side effect, certainly not complete deafness. It was an autoimmune disorder and I believer that was verified by the state attorney as it was not used against him.

The office I go to has different Doctors, and I see whomever is available, but I only have ONE chart and they all work from that chart. If the Doctors in Rush's office were EACH independently treating him without paying any attention to what the other Doctors in that same office were prescribing, then those guys should ALL lose their licenses because you can KILL somebody by doubling up on some medications.

They were using the same chart, however I do recall he also got pills from a New York office as well, though I don't know if that could be used against him.

Hugh, I seriously doubt that "poor guys" are getting Massive doses of Oxycontin from Medicaid. If they are then the doctors that are giving it to them should lose their licenses and be jailed.

They do. Often, especially if older it is even legal. No worry about addiction when you are terminally ill. Even then doctors simply screw up and don't pay enough attention. There also has been a very few doctors who have gotten in trouble over this often associated with medicaid scams.
