Best Answer

It depends on the prescription - most doctor's won't because they recognize that a second opinion is valuable.

Legally, so long as the prescription is not for a controlled substance, a doctor can write a prescription for him- or herself, and for members of his or her family and/or friends. A doctor cannot write any prescriptions for any controlled substances for a member of the family or for friends.
