The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don’t realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn’t mean they don’t call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.
It’s still hard for me to believe that this is how pharmaceuticals are secured.
Pharmacist: “Should we dispense this potentially dangerous drug, it’s a large quantity?”
Other Pharmacist: “Of course, look at the paper, it has the correct letterhead!”
It’s basically like doctors sit around with a stack full of signed blank checks in their offices, and every once in a while someone steals one and makes a huge withdrawal.
There are quite a few special requirements that need to be met for narcotics to be dispensed. Can they be ignored? Yup! Also, there should be some numbers run first and in many states an online check is required as well.
Plastic surgeon, RX pad, script, Mofine… I guess Mofine is the new guy they sent to collect at the pharmacy. Italian surname by the looks of it. RX relates to a racecar of sorts, not surprising since surgeons are said to be wealthy. Not sure about the script part though : do pharmacists typically double as programmers ? or is it like, a movie script ? in which case it might just all be cinema. There’s more to this message that we understand right now. Keep digging, Mofine. We’ll get 'em
He framed a phone call?
I’m guessing, the RX Pad can be used to print a prescription on a piece of paper?
£1 of morphine won’t last very long in this economy.
to go
Yea you’re going nowhere after a pound of morphine, I tell you hwhat.
You are. You’re going to SPACE.
Ah, yes. The one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism
I usually just take a gallon of PCP
I didn’t even know it came in liquid form!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ science
So do you do a lot of PCP?
'got a gallon!
A gallon is quite a bit.
It’s not that you can’t go, it’s just wherever you happen to be suddenly becomes the most comfortable surface you’ve ever laid on.
Oh? You won’t be dining in with us this evening?
Unless the thief has real good insurance, they better have brought their life savings to the pharmacy with them.
United Health Care’s response to this prescription:
“Nah, we ain’t paying that. We’ve determined the fair and reasonable rate is a stick to bite down on; don’t be a pussy.”
Damn I get mad when one of my prescriptions costs more than C$20
100 pills of 30 mg morphine each cost 36 $, that’s 3 g. So 1 g is 12 $.
One pound is around 450 g. So it’s about 5000 $ total.
A decent amount of money, but if you resell it on black market you can make a big profit.
Gotta spend money to make money!
the other typo makes it really hard to figure out whether “mophine” should have a [sic] on it…
His pad was stollen, baked into a traditional German Christmas cake.
How does that system work, what is his pad?
Here it seems to be entirely digital, I don’t need anything and just walk into a pharmacy and tell them my name to pick it up, they usually ask for address to confirm but I think it’s just any 2 bits of personal info.
In the US, many states require controls (narcotics) be written on paper prescriptions. If they do allow digital prescriptions of controls, there’s often a lot more hassle involved with getting approved to do it.
Well it wasn’t signed with doctors handwriting pgp, so it was sus
If true, this is incredible.
True or not, I would argue.
If it’s fun to pretend, then I’m fine pretending.
Thief: “Whers MA daM MOPHINE!”
Do you need a straw with that?
