Prescription pad
By Brian Turner
Owneeeck Staff Writer
Prescription pad theft is a problem in doctors'
offices, but is not any worse on campus than in
private practices, according to Dr. Kendell Fields,
director of clinical operations at the Student Health
Center.
"We've had students caught for theft of
prescription pads only two or three times in five
years," Fields said. The latest incident was last
summer when a person was caught forging the name
of a nurse instead of a doctor.
AS FAR as I know, those caught stealing from the
center have not been penalized significantly," Fields
saia. we ioiiow me same precautions private
physicians use, keeping the pads in pockets and out of
sight. The idea is to make them inaccessible," he
said.
If someone is determined to steal the pads they
may eventually get an opportunity, Fields said. "We
would be foolish to believe that we know of every
instance of pad thefts."

The most common illegal prescription is for am
phetamines, Fields said, although for anyone to gel
any controlled substance, he would have to forge i
doctor's signature and fabricate a Drug Enforcement
Agency (DEA) number.
"THE CHANCE of getting an illegal prescriptior
filled at the university pharmacy is next to im
possible, so these are taken to pharmacists in town,'
he said, adding, "For the instances we know about, il
is surprising how fast the pharmacists have becom<
suspicious."
The vast majority of prescriptions written b>
doctors at the health center are filled there also,
Fields said, and "it would cause suspicion if someone
brought a prescription for a controlled substance to ?
private pharmacy."
"We try to be as careful as we can," Fields said. "Il
would be more convenient for us to keep pads in ever)
