"As I recall Rush only received the drug from different doctors from the same office when his regular doctor was out." palmbeachpost.com "The warrants included a prescription list from one pharmacy, which showed Limbaugh obtained 2,130 pain and anti-anxiety pills under the brand names Norco, OxyContin, Lorcet and others in a five-month period. On June 3, a prescription was filled for 240 tablets of Norco, a mixture of the painkiller hydrocodone and acetaminophen. On June 18, he filled a prescription for another 100 pills of Norco. According to the search warrants, the doctors who prescribed the pills are Nathaniel Drourr, Antonio de la Cruz, Lawrence P. and John Murray. Murray runs Palm Beach Ear, Nose and Throat Association, while Drourr and Deziel work at the Jupiter Outpatient Surgery Center. Antonio de la Cruz runs the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, where Limbaugh was treated last year for hearing loss." ..."He announced in 2001 he was going deaf, and in January 2002 had an electronic device implanted to partially restore his hearing. The drug Norco has been linked to deafness."

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. 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. 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.
