    What is the crime of 'doctor shopping'?

    Question #48454. Asked by Buck540. (Jun 16 04 9:45 AM)

    		My best guess would be going to many different doctors to obtain prescriptions of controled drugs.

    Doctor shopping refers to looking for a doctor willing to prescribe drugs illegally, or getting prescriptions for a single drug from more than one doctor at the same time.

    		In Canada, it's called "double doctoring", and it's a serious offence.
