What is an "Imaginary Invalid" ?
It's when someone imagines an ailment that doesn't exist. Well, simply put, someone thinks he's sick but really isn't. It's all in his mind šš
Ah, it's also called #psychosomatic https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/psychosomatic
Watching it now! :)
I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure only licensed medical professionals can issue a prescription under California law. Therefore, by definition writing any prescription for anything to be filled by a pharmacist without a license is unlawful. It should at least be fraud.
I think physicians can do it too if they think the problem is psychosomatic.
Ah, cool, yeah.. I think I remember hearing about that too!
