So if she isn't worried about this federal crime tainting her CPA career, why would anyone else be? . I agree with your implication that no one else would worry about tainting Fiona's career.
So is "trafficking" considered writing prescriptions?. Don't think so:
From Black's:
TRAFFIC
Commerce; trade; dealings in merchandise, bills, money, and the like. See Iu re Insurance Co. (D. C.) 96 Fed. 757; Levine v. State, 35 Tex. Cr. R. 647. 34 S. W. 960; Feople v. Hamilton, 17 Misc. Rep. 11, 39 N. Y. Supp. 531; Merriam v. Langdon, 10 Conn. 471.
and
TRAFFICKING
The carrying on of an illegal commercial activity such as selling drugs or substances that are banned.
Who is writing any prescriptions in this scenario? Wouldn't prescriptions have to be filled at a licensed pharmacy, to be considered prescriptions? No, that's a way too restrictive use of the word. From a regular dictionary:
PRESCRIPTION
a : a written direction for a therapeutic or corrective agent; specifically : one for the preparation and use of a medicine
b : a prescribed medicine
c : something (such as a recommendation) resembling a doctor's prescription prescriptions for economic recovery
And, nothing to do with this thread but I came across it and it comes up on TPT once in a while:
TREASURE-TROVE
Literally, treasure found. Money or coin, gold, silver, plate or bullion found hidden iu the earth or other private place, the owner thereof being un- known. 1 Bl. Comm. 205. Called in Latin “thesaurus inventus;” and in Saxon “fyn- deringa.” See Huthmacher v Harris, 38 Pa. 490, SO Am. Dec. 502; Livermore v. White, 74 Me. 450, 43 Am. Rep. 000; Soveru v. Yoran, 10 Or. 209, 20 Pac. 100, 8 Am. St Rep. 293.
