WARNING for people home from surgery!

[parksean]

I just got home from yet another back surgery! The hospital sent someone to my house the next day to make sure everything was o.k., and if I needed anything. What a great service the hospital provides right!??!! That's what I thought at first. The person wasn't from the hospital and stole most (not all) of my pain medications! BE WARY OF WHO YOU LET IN YOUR HOME! I just found out that this is a common scam. Sure fooled me though. The person had a real looking hospital i.d. and everything. I just want people to know about this.

When one takes meds as we do we have to be very cautious and responsible and keep our meds locked up and away from little ones and the criminals.

I seen a movie where a nurse pretended she was a part of the hospital home services which did not exsist to gain acsess to a pregnant woman so she could steal her baby when it was born!
Nothing amazes me anymore here in Fla people will go to open houses to steal meds!

Oh yes, Sandee has a good question, How did they get access?

Well now I've heard it all...I can't believe what I just read...What is this world coming to. I am very glad that you posted this story, it will give us a heads up as to what ppl are willing to do to get pain meds.

          THANK YOU !

Well I am so sorry you went thru such an ordeal!
I am wondering how did the person know your just home from the hospital and how did they get access to your meds?
Any ideas from the authorities?
