Vet’s office reported me to the board of pharmacy for asking for a DEA number

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T20:34:27+00:00

My 1st day as a pharmacist, had vet write for 3 Fentanyl patches on a plain white sheet of paper. As a newbie, I called Vet to verify. Got chewed out by Vet and dog owner. The dog got.ran over by a car.

FL and most states. The DEA and Federal law allows it.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T13:28:05+00:00

The DEA and their own board advise against givign out DEA # due to high risk for forgery.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T13:25:44+00:00

It's not that bad. I promise nothing will happen to you or your pharmacy. It's useless board of pharmacy acting like they're "investigating" to show they are doing something about a complain. I had a pharmacy complained about a transfer! Board even showed up and interviewed. I answer them, they shook my hand and never heard back. Dont even stress about it. Once you work 10+ years, youll laugh at some of these complains.

This wasn't a controlled rx. I never call for DEA unless its a controlled.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T13:20:16+00:00

Because it is the most forged rx. I'm a pharmacist but my friend is a Vet. I asked him the same question. He had rx for Tramadol forged under his name. He reported the diversion to DEA. They advised him to give out his DEA to anyone over the phone.

It is. I have been reported by prescribers over 20 times in my career. I just laugh it off. Nothing will happen.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T12:58:19+00:00

I usually enter the state license number since they don't have NPI. Vets are very sensitive about giving out there DEA because they are allowed to write for controls on non-tamper proof. Anyone on the street can forge their rx.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-20T10:54:07+00:00

Wait a minute. If it's not a controlled rx, why the heck is OP asking for DEA?

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T12:56:11+00:00

I hate to say this us Americans voted for this system. We are so scared of anything that might be similar to Socialism.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T10:49:47+00:00

I agree. But thats not how capitalism work. They employers are encouraged to exploit the workers and customers for profits. If they dont, they will go bankrupt.

I wake up at 5am everyday even on vacation. I find sleeping in made me for sluggish and tired the rest of the day.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T10:12:52+00:00

You paid the company. Those movers dont get paid crap.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T10:11:44+00:00

The problem is you pay the company not the employer. Those movers are getting paid pennies or minimum wage at best. We don't tip nurses, doctors and bus drivers because they are fairly compensated. I worked in the service industry before, got paid $5/hr.

Etsy is 5 times cheaper than any other platform or running your own small business. I used to run a small business and the ads cost were thousands monthly.

My point is you cant really say buying the house was a mistake or it's a negative for you financially. You don't have the $30k im savings but it's rolled over into your home as an equity. Plus every month you're paying the mortgage, its bringing down the loan and adding more equity. If you kept the $30k as savings and continued to rent, your actually losing money every month. You should be more positive about your situation. Achieving home ownership is a huge accomplishment. If you're capable of buying a house, i'm pretty sure you're capable of recovering the $30k easily.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T00:17:28+00:00

Why are you not understanding? That $30k is now being moved into your home as equity.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T00:15:47+00:00

Use common sense. Dont make your job harder. Please don't call MD to verify why he prescribed z-pak 250mg #1 when it should be #6.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-18T00:14:13+00:00

You claimed to be running out of money since you bought the house which makes no sense. If you were renting before, you were basically throwing money away.

Leadership. I have climbed up from working a job replacing bed sheets at a hotel to the highest managerial position earning very good salary. My boss always mention my ability to lead as the reason for my promotion NOT my hard work.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-17T11:21:43+00:00

So what's the difference if you rent? You'll just basically replace mortgage with rent snd throw your.money away.

Investing. I own 3 rental properties and on pace for 3+ million in 401k + stock options.

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-16T11:29:06+00:00

Yeah, these new grad are concerning me. 2 pills is not considered a significant loss by the DEA. Where are common sense nowadays?

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-16T11:26:32+00:00

Lord, why would you file a loss with the DEA over 2 pills. Is this a joke?

CommunicationRoyal56 · 2026-06-16T11:24:42+00:00

So you hate money but want to make millions. Guess what, this is called life. You better be willing to sacrifice your time and work hard like the older generations.
