If a doctor DOES prescribe pain medication there is no rational reason to deny to a friend and patient in pain. It doesn't make sense

Well, ONE rational reason is to keep his medical license.

"Well, ONE rational reason is to keep his medical license."

Dear, a license allows you to prescribe what is needed to relieve pain for a patient. Again, there is NO reason for a licensed doctor to NOT prescribe what is needed. If the patient is not happy with the doctor the patient can ALWAYS get a second opinion.

Knowing the NYT, it's a pack of lies. They ALWAYS promote the WRONG side. I find this to be no exception.

He should have just purchased his 'pain relieveing narcotics' off the Internet. Had Rush done this instead of the allegation of 'Doctor Shopping' (notice I said allegation), He wouldn't have given the lonnies on the Left the ammunition they have to instantly discredit him. But alas, soon the DEA will shut this avenue down for those of us that suffer from chronic pain, due to the lowlifes that abuse this.
