What if a doctor isn't feeling too well, can he just write up a prescription for codine or valium?

If he can't, I'm sure he has friends who wouldn't 'ask questions' if you get my drift.

Most docs just give out samples rather than writing prescriptions.
And yes, doctors can administer their own medication, and perform their own physicals.
When I fill out applications for insurance policies for doctors, most put "SELF - M.D." as their primary physician. :p

Are these serious questions, or are you just acting dumb?

the lady in the arctic performed surgery on herself.

Doctors don't perform surgery.

amish

All surgeons are doctors, though all doctors aren't surgeons. So technically, being that a surgeon is one of the ...5(?) professions that are officially "doctors," they are technically doctors performing surgeries.

:p

They'll get it right as soon as you learn to spell. So probably never.

Depends on state laws. In CA, doctors can write prescriptions for themselves but not for controlled substances...
