... in the British mystery I'm now reading. The plot hinges on the fact that the protagonist, who has an Oxford Ph.D., for vanity reasons alone lists himself as "Dr. Richard Woods" in the telephone book. There is a medical doctor of the same name in the same neighborhood, and the murderer, in search of the drugs and money the physician has, goes to the wrong house, and the foul deed is done. --Mr. John Bear
Considering the lengths that addicts will go to in order to get OxyContin, that plot is not only feasible, but totally believeable. Bruce
Absolutely. I'm told that OxyContin is even more problematic to deal with in terms of dependency (and from a law enforcement prospective) than heroin.
A few months ago we were averaging 2-3 robberies a month of pharmacies for OxyContin, and it turned out to be 3 people doing all of them. The robberies are down, now the trend is phony prescriptions. We've had nurses, lawyers, and other people who you'd never imagine being addicts, and they're trying to pass fake scripts. It's truly an evil drug in the wrong hands. Bruce
