Is there some good rules of thumb that work? Older doctors vs. Younger doctors, etc........what technique can you use to locate one that doesn't have "writers cramp"?

If you live in Toronto I can give you a name of a doctor who writes out prescripts for almost anything you want providing you have a good reason for needing it. Just use any old ******** line.

I asked my friend why he don't go to doctor to show his infection when he sick. He told me that he dose see the doctor when he get sick but sometimes he can not afford to pay over $100 just seeing doctor to get prescription medicine that he know what he will ended up get. And other problem is he don't have medical insurance. Also make appointment with doctor needs least one day delay and he will get very sick by the time seeing doctor. So, he always prepare backup medicine. That's why he ended up filed up fish amaxicillin for when he needed. He is well educated about the medicine he is taking. But, I do think taking fish amaxicillin is not right. Because, he is not a fish. My concern is that people find why to get this kind of medication without doctor. Who causing people to buy medicine that made for animals or buying from internet? I do believe it's doctors causing it. Because, they can't get from doctor where else they looking for? I think that will create more problem in our society. There are lots of medicine that can prevent before you get really sick but why you have to sick already and see the doctor??? That was my question while looking at my friend who become looks like fish now. LOL.

It usually helps when the doctor knows you and your history well. You need to get established with a doctor and stay with him/her I have been with the same doctor for 30 yrs.
They will not write for pain medications on a whim because they are also kept track of by the feds.
You should explain more what your symptoms are and they will accomodate you.

If you are in pain, you should see a pain specialist who can try treatments in addition to pain medication that might have better long-term results. In some cases, antidepressants and anticonvulsants might work better for your pain than pain medications, which do little to treat the root of the pain and have a number of side effects that can be pretty unpleasant. I understand the frustration of chronic pain and the desire to just wipe it out with medications, but you should try to find a doctor who is interested in treating both your pain NOW (with pain meds) and your potential for continuing pain in the future (with a therapy that addresses the root cause of your pain). Try to get your primary care physician to refer you to a pain specialists in your area, if this is your issue.
If you're addicted to pain medications and/or just want the drugs for recreation, you'd be better off telling this to your primary care physician and seeking treatment for your addiction. There is no "rule of thumb" in terms of gullible doctors and, in fact, many doctors are increasingly wary of prescribing pain killers to even their patients in demonstrable pain, as the government has begun to seriously crack down on doctors lately for unjustifiable prescriptions. Eventually, someone will figure out what you're up to, no matter how carefully you try to cover your tracks. Doctors are trained to pick up on the signs of addiction in patients asking for pain medication, and are likely to see right through you. Please ask for help if you are addicted to pain medication.

well i work in a hospital and the only rule of "thumb" is you have to be sick. If their is something wrong just talk to you doctor tell them your sickness is affecting your quality of life and preventing you from doing your normal routine like work or chores.

There's no real good rule of thumb. All you can do is be very vocal about your needs. Flat out ask for what you're in need of. Sometimes you have to be pushy to get them to listen.

Now doctors have to answer to the DEA for every single narcotic they prescribe, none of them are just handing them out anymore.
