It's unfortunate about GUEST's mother. To set the record straight, however, the failure to perscribe isn't usually the doctor's fault. The government has recently been monitoring the use of opiates. Doctors who "over-perscribe" no matter what the reason have had their licenses threatened. Also, at least one pharmacist was threatened with the loss of his license if he continued to fill a certain doctor's opiate perscriptions.

It seems that Daylia is determined to confuse the economics and politics of health care with the practice of science. Her privilege, I guess.
