Can anyone tell me?

1. Yes, it's called fraud.

Obtaining multiple fillings of the same prescription from different doctors is highly illegal.

7. Yes, there are a variety of felonies on this page,

5. Depends on why you're doing it

Nothing wrong with going to a different doctor for the same ailment if you do it for the right reasons.

One of the one wrong reasons of course is to double up on scripts.

problems. Nothing happened to Elvis. Except death of course.
