My husband goes crook at me taking pills but if the doctor gives them to me you've got to take them—they're given for a reason. It's such a mess! My patients demand “sleepers” from me and if I don't give them they'll only go to someone else… I'm not a marriage guidance counsellor you know. It's not my business if she is going to different doctors and abusing drugs, my job is to dispense them if they are prescribed, and the others I'm allowed to sell — it's up to her.
