She said nah, she just drove that far to find a hospital that she wasn’t blacklisted at so she could lie to get morphine or oxy or one of those. She had just gotten some and was very triumphant

Nowadays I wonder if the ER’s have a better way to coordinate to prevent med seeking behavior but with how horrible the medical field is about it due to PHI, I doubt it
