Re: Doctor Shopping

There are various things to consider, primarily if the drug in question is a controlled substance then secondly what the use of these drugs is. In many instances people doing just what youre describing do so in order to sell the drugs to other individuals later on as a means of profiting off of the insurance companies, usually medicaid.
