Recently Schedule II prescriptions are reported to state or multi-state registries that local government officials including police can view at will.

My provider makes me sign an expansive privacy waiver to get my prescription. I gave up the drug for awhile because of it, I had to come crawling back and sign it.

The AMA embraces this total abdication of their responsibility to protect patient privacy. A federal registry is the natural next step.

As an attorney I cannot imagine selling out my clients the way MD's do.
