Doctor prescription drug use: Addiction fears no one
September 30th, 2009
The story published today by the Baltimore Sun (see here) is another sad reminder that no one is safe from addiction.
Two doctors of pharmacology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine were apparently developing quite a drug habit buying prescription drugs online and then cooking them and shooting them up. Now one of them is dead and the other is in jail looking at some serious time.
I’m not going to repeat the whole story here, but you should go read it. Prescription drug use is a growing problem in the U.S., apparently, like other addictions, it doesn’t discriminate.
