LOL.... they won't give them to YOU... but you can be sure
they get them for themselves. I used to make them have a colleague write them. We have a health code law with an ethics clause...that docs cannot write controls for themselves. So I was not terribly popular. You wouldn't believe what I have seen!
Some are frank diversion in fact. I caught one vet writing for Hycodan for kennel cough (using different names each time).... he was going to all the stores in my area and unbeknownst to him, so was I temping there.
I turned him in and the board found hundreds of other drugs too he was writing for and diverting. What I thought was awful was only about 10% of what he was actually doing.
He plead guilty and lost his license here, but I looked him up on the net and he now lives in Hawaii!
Here is another awful story:
In the western suburbs, there was a dentist who was writing for 2 oz of Nembutal liquid for his dental
patients. I was very skeptical, but was told, he cleared this with upper management even. So I asked one of the patients (I did fill one of these thinking the patient was mentally ill or Downs or autistic)...and he said the doctor TOOK THE BOTTLE, dosed him--a teaspoonful 5ml is all that is needed, and that left 55 ml LEFT over, and never returned it. (he was not a behavior problem either). So guess what? I refused to fill those, whenever I got them and eventually about 2 yrs later this dentist appeared in our newspapers! He was drugging women, putting them unconscious in the chair (using the Nembutal he obtained illegally) and was sexually assaulting them. When one woman brought charges, others came forward, and it turned into a huge
case, and he was convicted, of rape. This is the most colorful story I have witnessed personally.
Also along that vein are doctors who supply call girls with their meds in return for favors. I have had several of those come to me as well. One very upscale escort service, got caught and so did the doctor .. he lost his license for a year. Their faves were Fastin + Halcion, BTW.
