20. The drug IS Valium. ;)

Now, abrupt withdrawal from a high dose can cause psychosis.

If that's the only script he was given, it's unlikely he was that hooked.

I certainly wouldn't want to be that doctor just because I'd be questioning myself about why I didn't see it, why I bought whatever explanation he gave for being stressed out, why I didn't do more....

But I certainly don't think he should be made to "pay" any more than the brother who didn't see it after helping him move, etc.
