All through the movie, Teddy states she is over-prescribing because she needs the money, yet when Emily sent her nanny in as a test, she wrote a prescription, not selling drugs on the side. How does that help her financially unless she is taking kick backs from the pharmacist?
shareI was wondering that too. I mean, does she get a kickback for the more drugs she prescribes? i didn't really get that either.
The people she was prescribing the drugs for "on the side" would probably be giving her cash so that she wrote the bogus prescribtions... just my opinion.

I don't get this either. Why are the prescriptions "bogus"? They are written by a doctor --it's just that the patient doesn't really need it and may be addicted, as I understand it. But how does this give the doctor extra income?
shareI think, like the person above said, the patients were giving her cash to write the prescriptions. And they're "bogus" because she should have been writing them if they were unnecessary for the patient. That's a BIG no-no in the medical community.
