I think it's established that in the opioid crisis, all medication was prescribed by docters, for 2 important reasons:
1) pressure from patients (and sometimes the doctor themselves, too). What is wrong with drugs? I mean, we can all agree that there's a minority in society that doesn't see the problem here. There are plenty of medical people in that minority.
2) pain medication "cures" everything (cheaply!). Can't diagnose what's wrong? Opioids cure it! Not really sure if anything is wrong at all? Opioids make patient happy! Patient scared of treatment? Opioids cure the problem without the treatment! Patient can't pay for real treatment? Opioids cure it!
