Oh, hang on, I've just read that they are intelligent and co-operative. No contest then.

Lol, there's a forum on facebook called something like "pharmacy's weirdest questions" or something of the like.
This morning I was reading the thread talking about the best excuses for people to get early refills on prescriptions (most ppl in this group are from the US) and one said someone asked for an early refill because a bird had stolen her bottle of pills ! There I was thinking how far-fetched that one was, well... it could have been true !
Do have a look at that group, they have some really funny stuff !

A practice where I worked until a year or so ago had a benzos etc addict who was, allegedly, trying to get off everything. He had daily Rx's which were kept at the local pharmacy but frequently came in for more.
He dropped his medication/script in the river. On the train. Under the train. Had either or both confiscated by the police(!). Had it/them stolen by "friends"!
I was sorely tempted to print it off and publish it! However, as far as we could find out (and he was well known in the village he wasn't selling.
The CD officer from the PCT did come and see the senior partner but that was about the time I retired so I'm not entirely sure what happened.
However, I saw (and had a chat with) the patient in the street the other day and he seemed fine!
