Actually they can write their own scripts although it is frowned upon. My brother is an MD and has written himself scripts for antibiotics and nonscheduled meds. I know he would never write anything that was a narcotic etc.. If they abuse this right they could lose their dea license to write scripts all togeather. They say the worst doctor is one who has himself as a paitient.

You cannot legally write your own prescriptions. You would have to ask another doctor to do it for you. it can be a friend or partner, but you cannot legally write your own, otherwise you could write prescriptions for narcotics and sell em on the street. it's kinda like a checks and balances thing to prevent abuse.

A doctor can write his/her own prescriptions although it is something that should be avoided.

They cannot write their own prescriptions. That would be unethical.

No, you could not. Physician heal thyself is outdated.
