My mother was a patient of Dr Gregory Lang. My mother needed a refill on a prescription, and without seeing my mother for nearly three months, and no appointment scheduled, Dr Lang gave my mother 10 months worth of refills. I thought that was not appropriate so I wrote a letter to Dr Lang explaining I was not happy with him giving my mother 10 months worth of refills without seeing her first. I explained that I have Power Of Attorney and I carefully monitor my mothers medications.
Approximately one month later my mother saw Dr Lang. Dr Lang mentioned the letter I sent. Ignoring my request, and forgetting that my mother already had 10 months of refills, Dr Lang then wrote another prescription for my mother, same drug, and 10 months worth of refills. This allowed my mother to double up on the same drug for 10 months by having one rx filled at one drug store and the other rx filled at another drug store.
I live in the Los Angeles area and travel north to check on my mother 3 or 4 times a month. Luckily I own my own business that allows me to do this. These damn doctors are nothing put a group of pill pushers. It's not easy for me to control my mother's medications when you have a jerk like Dr Lang who gives out rx's without any consideration for the health and well being of his patients. There have been numerous reports that doctors get kick backs from the drug companies. We now know how Dr Lang makes most of his money, over prescribing his patients.
