Had to go to the emergency ward to get patched up (tripped on uneven concrete - that stuff is hard AND rough). On my way out, was confronted by a guy with a crazy story about security beating him up for no reason, and wanting to buy some of my pain pills (VERY visible injury to my chin, but when you describe your pain as "2 to 3" on the 10 point scale, you DON'T get a prescription for pain pills). Turned him down, he approached someone in a car to talk to them (presumably the same story).
Went back, approached the first staffer I saw who didn't have a line of people in front of them (happened to be a security person - they'd be the group the matter would be referred to anyway, so better to tell them than a medical person). Described the guy, and which entrance he was outside.
Anyone in health care have drug seekers trying to get pain pills from your patients after they fail to get a prescription?
