To my knowledge on medicine ( for pain ) or anyother med's after you take it a while (say year's) Everyone of us on here knows your body will build up a tolerance to it. and unfortunately some people will become addictive to the medication. I have the same back problem (DDD) as Mrs. Perritt, But unlike Mrs. DJ I have not had 5 surgerys but only 2 back surgery's where I have had metal rods put in and fusion done. I have relied on these medications to reduce pain and to give me a slight portion of my life back. To DJ I take my hat off to you for not needing pain medication. I am just wondering what kind of surgery you had and also I would like to know do you also work , I do. I do not know the Perritt Family but my prayers will be with ya’ll on this journey.

These people need to think of the demons in their family, before they start bashing others. Your mother and step father are definitely in my prayers, and he still has my vote no matter what!

Ricky does not have any kids, but if he did I wouldn't want any of them hurt either. Kayla sounds pretty hurt and I feel sorry for her. It is not the childrens fault what their parents do.

It DOES save time. I guess it balances out, though. We have the people who want to claim folks are good after they start riots, call in bomb threats, rob stores and admit to leaving cocked guns around on the streets to kill passers-by (or maybe shoot out tires) or whatever they may have done, and the folks who want to hang anybody accused of anything. It's fun to speculate but ultimately best to leave the official response to judge and jury. It doesn't mean we have to vote for someone over others who are not accused of wrongdoing, though. David thinking politics is entertaining or we wouldn't be discussing it REGARDING:

Yes they do hand out prescriptions, but the patient is the one that CHOOSES to fill it or not. It's the PATIENT who gets themselves addicted to these kind of meds, not the doctors. The doctor can only go on what the patient tells them....correct? I know this for a fact because I have had (5) surgeries since January 09' and have been given the opportunity to the same kind of meds after each surgery. Did I except them NO I DIDN'T! I was woman enough to tell the doctor that I didn't need them because I still had some from my (1st) surgery. FACT: I was a patient and I chose NOT to except the prescription when asked if I needed more........now that is what I call making a responsible decision......end of story! PLEASE STOP THE PITTY PARTY FOR THE PERRITT'S! I don't feel sorry for either of them and I sure don't want him in office. I can only hope and pray that they will not be given SPECIAL treatment because he was LE. If anything I hope they throw the book at both of them.

It is against the law to doctor shop (visiting multiple doctors with the purpose of receiving narcotic prescriptions without notifying the doctors that you have received the meds from other mds) and as a sergeant of the SRSO he should have known that. I am not convicting him, just stating the facts. These medications are highly addictive and some doctors are handing out scripts like they are candy. As someone who works in a pharmacy, I deal with it every day. He and his family are in my prayers. I hope that this will get them the help that they need.
