You are a physician assistant working in a rural area of the country under the supervision of a medical doctor. The doctor is out of town for the weekend and cannot be reached by phone. You receive a call from a patient who needs a prescription refill; however, the prescription is for a drug that you are not licensed to prescribe. You know the patient, and you are fairly sure the doctor would call in the refill. What will you do? How could you help the patient?
