His pad was stollen, baked into a traditional German Christmas cake.
How does that system work, what is his pad?
Here it seems to be entirely digital, I don't need anything and just walk into a pharmacy and tell them my name to pick it up, they usually ask for address to confirm but I think it's just any 2 bits of personal info.

Unless the thief has real good insurance, they better have brought their life savings to the pharmacy with them.

100 pills of 30 mg morphine each cost 36 $, that’s 3 g. So 1 g is 12 $.
One pound is around 450 g. So it’s about 5000 $ total.
A decent amount of money, but if you resell it on black market you can make a big profit.

£1 of morphine won’t last very long in this economy.

United Health Care's response to this prescription:
"Nah, we ain't paying that. We've determined the fair and reasonable rate is a stick to bite down on; don't be a pussy."

Damn I get mad when one of my prescriptions costs more than C$20

It's still hard for me to believe that this is how pharmaceuticals are secured.
Pharmacist: "Should we dispense this potentially dangerous drug, it's a large quantity?"
Other Pharmacist: "Of course, look at the paper, it has the correct letterhead!"
It's basically like doctors sit around with a stack full of signed blank checks in their offices, and every once in a while someone steals one and makes a huge withdrawal.

Plastic surgeon, RX pad, script, Mofine... I guess Mofine is the new guy they sent to collect at the pharmacy. Italian surname by the looks of it. RX relates to a racecar of sorts, not surprising since surgeons are said to be wealthy. Not sure about the script part though : do pharmacists typically double as programmers ? or is it like, a movie script ? in which case it might just all be cinema. There's more to this message that we understand right now. Keep digging, Mofine. We'll get 'em

There are quite a few special requirements that need to be met for narcotics to be dispensed. Can they be ignored? Yup! Also, there should be some numbers run first and in many states an online check is required as well.

The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don't realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn't mean they don't call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.

There was a time when all you needed to call in a prescription in Denmark, was the doctors authorization number... Which was publicly available. Sure if you called in a prescription at a pharmacy across the country or sounded suspicious, the pharmacy would make a call back, but other than that all you had to do was pick a doctor in an area with lots of other doctors and near a large pharmacy, and you'd get whatever you liked.
It must have been so for +10 years before a journalist and a doctor blew it up, by having the journalist phone in prescriptions for morphine, barbiturates, and other recreationally applicable substances. I don't know if a doctor can still phone in prescriptions, but the immediate stop gap was to only accept prescriptions accompanied by the doctor's personal, and crucially private, SSN.

Because a letterhead on an odd sized piece of paper is so much harder to fake than a login over an encrypted connection

I think this was changed in Washington. I’m not sure if you can still write physical paper opioid scripts.
