Need Help in Business Law?
Question by SKA=<3: Need help in business law?
Can anyone answer this question? I need to know why and from where the answer came from.
Mcl aughlin injured his back while working as a lumberjack. He became
addicted to pain killers during treatment for the injury. He was then treated for
the addiction three times, but never stopped using the drug. When he moved to
Indiana, he sought treatment for his back injury and obtained a prescription for the
pain killer. He filled the prescription much faster than prescribed. In one 60-day
period he received 24 refills, filled 12 times, meaning that McLaughlin or his wife
was at the pharmacy every two to three days. When his doctor discovered the
misuse, he refused to prescribe more. McLaughlin became depressed as a result
of withdrawal and attempted suicide. He sued the pharmacy, claiming it had a
duty to stop filling the prescription because the pharmacist knew or should have
known that McLaughlin was consuming the drug so quickly that it was a threat to
his health. Is he correct?
