Affidavit and drug samples

Will try to make this question as quick and simple.

A nurse friend of mine is going through a divorce. One of the questions asked on her discovery papers was what prescription drugs have you acquired without a prescription, how many have you taken and how did you acquire them. She put down five or six different drugs, really none of them narcotic in nature, wrote in a few low numbers of what she took, and stated she acquired them as work sample. She thought it would be better to just list them since her husband probably knew about this (hence the question on the discovery papers). Scary part is that she does not seem worried about it since she thought none of them were serious drugs and the total taken were so low.

I am not a nurse but putting your signature on a signed affidavit stating this could be trouble down the road for her? Am I missing something. Since they are not "serious" drugs and just samples would the hospital just blow it off if they were to find out?

Thanks

Who is going to tell the hospital about the drugs? If someone does tell the hospital, how will the hospital show, even if they wanted to, that she was taking the drugs while she worked. If there is no change in her work performance, I don't see the issue. If the drugs were samples, then they were given to her by the doctor, she does not need to get an RX filled to take a drug for a legitimate purpose.

What kind of "discovery" thing is this????

Divorce proceedings are nasty. The other side will try to get anything they can to use as leverage. I hate "family" law.

I am glad your taking an active interest in your "friends" paperwork.

Drugs that require prescriptions and obtained otherwise is not good. Even if they are not "serious drugs"

Just my:twocents:

You said the drugs were a "work sample," does that mean she got them as samples provided at her place of employment? That might mean trouble for her at work if they were to find out. But if she got them from her own doctor as samples, then that's what they're for. If her doctor is the one who gave them to her, then she has no problem, it doesn't matter what they were.
