Interesting about health services making a point of being careful who they are prescribing pain medications to. Back a zillion years ago when I was in college, I once had a roommate who for a hobby used to go to Health Services and request controlled substances, just to see if she could get them. She always could. Then she would come home and gloat about what she'd gotten this time. She kept a small bedroom drawer full of bottles of all sorts of potent stuff -- pills and injectables and all sorts of interesting things. Sometimes I'd find her and her boyfriend sitting at the kitchen table injecting things into each other. He was diabetic, so he genuinely needed insulin shots. My roommate, on the other hand, I have no idea what he was injecting into her.
They were both in the seven-year medical program, so as far as I know they are both doctors now. I find that a little scary.
