Comment on How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.?

  Yeah, the term usually refers specifically to moving between doctors to gain access to specific classes of medication that are restricted. In doing so, the “shopper” hopes to bypass limitations on how much of the drug they can get in a given time frame.

  It’s almost always drugs that have recreational use and/or high addiction potential.
