I'm sure most of you probably deal with a different side of the drug problem, the street stuff. What's your opinion about prescription drug abuse? It's a growing problem in my neck of the woods.

it's a huge problem here where I am. especially Oxycodin. I just arrested a doctor about 2 weeks ago for basically writing illegal prescriptions for oxy.

I know the prescription drug abuse issue well, as I had friends in college who struggled with it. It became a huge issue in our local community, as it's so easy to get ahold of these medications. I think if we want to tackle this issue, more education and better controls on prescriptions is a great place to start.

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
