wow such differences -

I couldn't return an unopened bottle of Morphine to the CA hospital that rx'd it for family member - I didn't want to be carrying it around since we were away for home, they wouldn't even dispose of it for me??
Told me to pour it down the drain so i did it right there in the hospital restroom.
I could understand not taking back to put in inventory but you think they would have disposed of it in a better way.

Giving out others medications ??
I would think they might be concerned that some pills etc might have been tampered with or even just contaminated.

Sounds like a risky situation - they are trying to help but what if??
- even if they were just stored improperly - too hot or too much humidity - it could change the effectiveness..
