The only thing I ever got prescribed is Ambien CR (from a friend) for when I was traveling.

I am a doctor and one of my friends once asked me to prescibe vicadin for him. He had some old xrays of his back from around 20 years ago saying that an injury from a car accident he got in 20 years ago was flairing up. I ended up giving him the vicadin, but now I feel kind of band. Was I in the wrong?

I think that is a major no-no - and your friend should have never put you in the position.

This is in reply to the person who actually had the stupidity to say they were a doctor who wrote a "illegal script" for Vicodin. If you were truly a physician, you would know how to spell the "pain-killer correctly". Also, a physician would never admit to writing "Illegal scripts" . Grow-up, if you want to be a REAL MD, go to school. Oh, I take that back, the world has enough non-moral physicians.

Wow, that thread got out of hand real fast, didn't it?  I think that we all know that being able to spell has absolutely nothing to do with one's intelligence when responding to a posted thread.  At least not in this world.  That's why we're not all English majors.  Frankly I think that the person posting was irresponsible, but only because he was making the decision as a friend and not as  a doctor.  I've had a family member who is a physician perscribing me and my siblings things for years.  Not painkillers to be certain, but why go to your pediatrician when you know that your child just needs amoxicillin.  It would be a huge waste of time and money and the only people to proffit would be insurance companies.  While requests for painkillers are more suggestive of addictive behaviors, I think that some others in this thread demonstate increadible naivete in thinking that this does not happen all the time, and just a touch of holier than though in thinking that all script writing outside the confines of insurance companies is bad.  .. .. ..  I think the pharmacists could better tell us what classifications of drugs fall into the more sketchy catagories, but not everything under the table is evil.
