Ah, the sadly rare ācaring Doctorā, lucky you.
Itās shocking how few/far those are. My current ādocā has never even sat down with me to talk about how Iām doing. Just steps in, tells me whatās going to to happen to me & leaves => and Iām thankful to have even that for my condition in my area.
Edit: stoopid automangle

Iām guessing that this expression is used to describe medication dispensed by a pharmacy to fill a legitimate prescription, and then sold to a third party illegally.
When I first read it though it made me think of someone in a drug testing lab extracting traces of opioids from urine samples in such quantity and purity that they could be sold to addicts.
Ewww. Not the gross one, legit scripts getting sold to non-script holders on the street.
