You prescribe your roommate Tranquilix and she starts to do better. She has less and less delusions surrounding her desire for her father or to resurrect her dead hamster through a paradoxical decomposition. About a week and a half into her taking Tranquilix, she starts developing night terrors and shortness of breath. She goes to the hospital to get checked out by a real doctor.
That night you are on the couch watching TV when there’s a huge boom at the door, everything goes completely white and loud. You try to stand up but fall on your feet in confusion. Before you recover your senses, a knee pins you to the ground and handcuffs your hands behind your back.
“IS THIS YOUR PRESCRIPTION!” a voice questions through a gas mask behind a huge swat team.
“Well yess,” your respond confused.
“You’re under arrest for impersonating a Dr. and prescribing controlled substances.
“What?”
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to talk to a lawyer for advice before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. If you decide to answer questions now without a lawyer present, you have the right to stop answering at any time” they recite.
Congratulations, you stopped Sarah from resurrecting her hamster, but you went to jail for impersonating a Dr. Apparently Tranquilix has been used as the key ingredient to a dangerous party drug easily synthesized with ingredients from Pepto Bismol, and Tylenol the kids are calling Requiem in the streets. Some laws went into place and now you’re caught in a new set of laws to get this street drug under control.
