At the pharmacy where I work, we had a patient with chronic pain. He had gotten hurt in an accident. Every time he came to the pharmacy he always had trouble getting the company to pay for his pain meds and he would have to call his lawyer and then they would pay. He was talking a lot of pain medication. The guy would get so frustrated. Finally, he killed himself.
