You're handing out the paper. The burden needs to be on you to swear that a legal doctor has communicated a medical need. If you can be shown to have lied, boom, federal prison.
You want lay people to be responsible that a 'legal' doctor has communicated a 'medical' need?
I hand out tons of other paper. Disability for the DMV, prescriptions to people, etc that doctors attest. I don't know if a patient truly needed Xanax. I am not about to go questioning doctors.
I bet a lot of people game the DMV for disability. I read that there are 20,000 ACTIVE DMV Disability placards in California for people over the age of 100. There are only 12,000 people over the age of 100 in California.
Doctors, theoretically, could be disciplined by their state Medical Board for intentionally falsifying an ESA.
