I wonder if all/most medications should be over the counter.

My wife saw a patient the other day who had x issue, and said she was traveling to watch the Seahawks that weekend for her birthday and needed an opiate prescription.

Turned out the woman's birthday had gone by 3 weeks prior, and the Seahawks weren't playing for 2 weeks. When my wife said that she wouldn't be prescribing opiates, the woman immediately got up and left without saying a word.

She has Oregon Health Plan, so the visit to obtain drugs was entirely free to the woman, and entirely a waste of taxpayer money for everyone legally employed.

If the drugs had been OTC, nobody's time would be wasted.

That said, any time a hurdle to bad decisions is in place, it reduces the number of bad choices people make. Maybe we'd have 3x the number of opiate abusers if they were OTC.
