Dr. Mark Komrad:

I will respond. First, that statistic may be 51 prescriptions, but that year it represented 20% of all prescriptions. One out of every five prescriptions was written by a single doctor, and with short evaluation times. I will turn to the medications that are not tracked. This is true in every jurisdiction. These are boxes of lethal medications, typically barbiturates, and other items too. Once they are dispensed they get stored in the closet. In one case in Oregon, they were stored for 417 days, and in another case for more four years.
