But, technological advances in e-prescribing, including enhancements to security and privacy, have begun to make the battle a little less one sided. In fact, the DEA has...
This is kind of scary unless there were a criminal reason to ask for a warrant in a specific case for investigation purposes, but to just key in and start looking around at will could be a bit dangerous and of course there’s privacy. One thing with life is that upon seeing a piece of information about...

This is kind of interesting as to what has been revealed here with Dr. Chao writing a number of controlled substance prescriptions to himself, and I assume it is him since the name is the same unless by a wild chance the doctor has a patient who is a doctor by the same name, but not likely. ...

Patients were shocked when they saw the sign hanging on the door and had no idea as to what has happened. In addition to the fine, the doctor was ordered to complete the "Vanderbilt Prescribing Sexual Boundaries" course. He had also been ordered to have a Vanderbilt Comprehensive...
