Here’s an interesting twist to the debate about privacy:

Customs officials found a prescription bottle labeled as Viagra in his luggage that didn’t have Limbaugh’s name on it, but that of two doctors, said Paul Miller, spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was “labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes,” Roy Black, Limbaugh’s attorney, said in a statement.

Privacy? Medical records are protected, so had his name been on the bottle it would have been his right to demand it be kept private. However, by carrying a controlled substance with someone else’s name on the bottle he not only loses the information security controls put in place to protect him but he incurrs the risk of a second-degree misdemeanor.

Limbaugh reached a deal last month with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Under the deal, the charge, commonly referred to as “doctor shopping,” would be dismissed after 18 months if he continues to submit to random drug tests and treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.

Ok, but what can be done about an addiction to misrepresentation of the truth for personal gain?
