Summary

Prescription drug abuse represents a serious and growing public health problem in the medical profession. Popular television dramas like "House" and "Nurse Jackie" present a glamorized side of the spreading addiction epidemic that most people don't believe is real. In real life, you have a right to know what you are getting into when you walk through the doors of a hospital or doctor's office.
