I think you overestimate doctors. In the early aughts I was prescribed vicodin (which I didn't take) and made a joke "I hope I don't get addicted to these" and my doctor laughed and said "These aren't like opium or heroin. They're non-habit forming if used as directed" I suspect the "if used as directed" was doing a lot of work.
