I was recently given a prescription for Oxycodone, which was ostensibly done at the behest of my
Neurosurgeon. Continued below.

When I took it to my drug store I was told that there was no doctors name on it, there was no DEA#,
and there were no instructions for it''s use. Needless to say, it was impossible to get it filled.
Finally the only name that appeared on it was that of an RN (Registered Nurse); I''m fairly certain
that writing prescriptions for Schedule II narcotics is not within the purview of things an RN is
able to use. Additionally, this same RN, who is what the Neurosurgery Department calls it''s "Triage
Nurse", who is the initial contact one gets when calling the doctor. He knew I was about to run out
of my previous prescription and I really feel like he not only stalled getting this sent out to me,
but he consciously sent a useless piece of paper. Needless to say, I''m very upset about this;
medical professionals are not supposed to sabotage a patients medicines.
