SIGNATURE PHARMACY

[mauifit]

Help! I just got a letter saying that my presciption records were being seized from Signature Pharmacy. I did order from them in the past but was given what i thought a valid prescription.
It says in the letter that if i object to a review of my records to write to them.
What do I do?

 

[eroc613]

Write to them

They have no right, you did no wrong. What they're doing is against the law.

 

[mauifit]

oh really! So, what do I do with this letter? They said my records were seized on feb 2007 and Iam just now receiving notice??

 

[eroc613]

I used them, too

You got the perscprition from a doctor that advised you to follow his protcol. Take it to a lawyer if you want. You have rights as a patient. Or you could write them, and let them know you do not give them consent to look at your records.

I thought the case was dropped

 

[thundergod]

Yep, the case got dropped due to some screw ups with the prosecution. I think it was the owners of Sig.Pharm that got out of all the trouble.

Bottom line is, if you got a legit doctor to write you the script, They can do nothing against you. Honestly, I wouldn't even respond back. That is how these bastards get people, by intiminating them. Nothing is wrong to get a legit prescription from a license doctor.

 

[swervedriver]

I do not think that they can seize your records in this situation. If you had a valid script from a licensed physician, then you have committed no crime. However, they may not be going to be use the info against you, but rather the physician who wrote the scripts. In which case they cannot do anything to you. However, I still can't see the legality of them gaining access to your records without your consent. The government has jumped time over this steroid shit! It is almost like a F'ing witch hunt... You cannot tell me that this is the best way to appropriate our tax dollars... What about Meth, Crack, Smack, or god forbid prescription Narcotics... The biggest problem in my town, is kids selling and using loracets, valium, oxycontin etc... Hell, they will kill someone over oxycontin... Complete bullshit!
Bottom line is that I think that you are fine. Although, I would go see an attorney about it... Good luck and keep us posted!

So quick question here Swerve, should he respond to their letter with a no you cannot use my records or view them? Should he just drop it and see what happens.
My gut reaction is (as long as I had a legit script) to tell then to stick it up their ass and give me my records.

If they are building a case against the company and a subpoena was issued it was probably fought by Sig Pharmacy. I would look into it. If Sig got a temporary injunction and the court upheld the subpoena there really isn't much you can do. Feds are bastards. I wouldn't want them coming after me.

 

[BLACKCAT]

That case was thrown out of court a couple of days ago.

**broken link removed**

Ask for your documents back. They are asking you because they have to. If they had legit probable cause, they would have read those a long time ago.

Read the very bottom paragraph in the article and you will most likely have all the answers you need.

 

[mauifit]

Thanks everyone. I cant understand why I just got this letter today if they seized records Feb 07! It sounds like they already used all the information so what good does it do me to write back?

I'm sure that part of the deal with the case being dismissed was that records had to be returned. They are probably (I say probably because I am not 100% certain) required to let you know they have documents of yours and either you tell them you want them back or they will probably go into a shredder somewhere. If it were me, I'd ask for them back. Medical, tax, and financial records are something I would always ask for back if someone took a copy for some reason other than what I had authorized.

I would never consent to anything, anytime, anywhere when it comes to law enforcement. ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS consult an attorney before you EVER say a damn word to law enforcement because they can lie to you, and do whatever they want in order to get the goods on you... The only thing that stands between them and your freedom, is the competence of the attorney you hire...

Sure they can get a warrant based on probable cause to seize his records as part of an investigation. And Blackcat is right they are merely "asking" because they have to, not because it will prevent them from doing whatever they want to anyway... The fact that you are just getting the request shows that they did not need your consent...

From reading the AP report you are all clear... Especially since the investigation was focused on the physicians and the pharmacy..

You know what is ironic... The fact that the DA had to drag this shit case along shows that it was a sham, and nothing more than a way for him to look good in the press... Must have been getting around election time... Nothing stirs up political support more than making headlines with a b/s case.... Damn that reminds me DUKE should have a good lacrosse team this year...

 

[all4show]

So what did you end up doing mauifit? I got the same letter today and am wondering what to do.

 

[klowndog]

Trash it

I have always heard to trash any letter liek that. Signing it and sending it back is like a guilty plea. Just trash it, and you never got it in the mail, and you don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

What do I do?

There is someone else over at anabolex.com that just got the same letter. Apparently they have to notify you that they seized your medical records due to the HIPPA LAWS

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and
have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
--Book of Revelation


Sounds like George W. Bush

sure does

If you're going to play the "guess the antichrist game" at least apply your standards logically. The description you give is a hell of a lot closer to Obama than Bush, and I suspect that, in fact, it is neither.
