What is so pathetic about supplying a product to a 12 year old?
Maybe she was just running an errand for her mother?
Where in the US Constitution did the Founding Fathers give up the right to treat their own health with out permission (read prescriptions) from a government agent (read doctors).
It is indeed pathetic that people have no clue as to what the Constitution means when it says all rights not given to the government are reserved to the people.

My above statement was generic -- not directed at ANYONE in this incident. Most people on this thread got that -- you didn't.
I think I've fallen in love with you, Mrs. Mark.
Mr. Mark is a very lucky man.
As you've noted, doctors are agents of our government. Our government requires that we go to doctors instead of treating ourselves or each other. "Practicing medicine" without government permission is a illegally prohibited, "illegally" because the Constitution does not give our government permission to infringe upon our right to protect our health in the way we see fit.
Government control of health services also explains why medical expenses have gone beyond reach of ordinary people. Nowadays, nobody can afford to have a medical problem if they don't have insurance, because the artificial controls our government has imposed on health services, combined with governmental prohibiting of "practicing" medicine by lay people, have driven costs beyond what we can pay.
