BOSTON -- The prescription pad at your doctor's office might soon take on characteristics of the dollar bill in your wallet.
To foil those who would steal and reproduce the pads to illegally distribute drugs, watermarks and serial numbers could be imbedded in what's now only a tear-off sheet of paper.
