Anyway, we'd get several calls a month of people with "horrible tooth aches" wanting him to write them a scrip. His solution was always to tell them to "come on out to the clinic right now, and I'll fix your tooth for you" (his clinic was right next to our house). That usually separated the people with real issues from the scrip hounds. Of course, he also ended up actually having to go next door and fix people's teeth on occasion at all hours of the night.

Thats pretty much what I do as well. The script searchers usually just "can't" come in righth now for whatever reason. for them, I tell them to go to the ER.
