A Manhattan pharmacist might need to prescribe something for himself after he "somehow" neglected to keep track of 20,000 doses of painkillers. Thomas Farkas, who runs the Anatole Pharmacy on the east side, is facing criminal prosecution for losing track of a huge amount of narcotics. Farkas claims he was robbed in 2006, but never reported the break-in to the DEA.

Between May 2005 and 2007, he received more than 20,000 doses of Methadone and painkillers such as OxyContin; during an inspection in 2007, prosecutors discovered 49 out of 50 of his drug reports were lacking in critical details. Farkas faces a minimum of $75,000 in fines for his sloppy bookkeeping. There has been a string of at least 11 reported pharmacy robberies in the last two years.
