What is the name of your state?INDIANA
My friends father just passed away under some very how shall I say "questionable" circumstances. His wife is a nurse practioner and she has been writing perscriptions for him (for some time now)and treating him for phnuemonia. He was then hospitalized and they found cancer. He then requested to be released and refused treatment because he'd rather have quality of life than quantity. She went to his house the Monday before christmas so her children could have christmas with their grandfather. He was doing fine and in good spirits with no complaints. By Wednesday she (my friend) was notified that he was in pain and that her stepmother had wrote a perscription for morphine and got it filled and was dispensing said medication to her father. By Thursday he had passed away. I'm just curious about a few things. 1. I believe it is against the law for her to dispense medications to family members. 2. How could she get perscriptions filled that she wrote herself? 3. Isn't there a code they take when they get their license?I really appreciate some input back.
Thanks,
Becky
