I agree with the last part, if we add the qualifier of "most" to doctors. The incentives for wealth and regularly upgraded trophy wives and that god-complex of just declaring stuff to patents who often are too intimidated to ask real questions, those incentives do lead too many genuine pieces of shit into the field, much like lawyers and politicians and law enforcement (minus the rotating trophy wives for them I guess). The over prescribing of pain killers I know a little about through the ways addiction has been understood in the professional literature, but I see two the big culprits. First, corruption in regulatory agencies allowed analogs of obviously dangerous drugs with questionable medical use be prescribed in a new but essentially unchanged form. Second though is the gifts from sales reps and all the perks doctors got when they over-prescribed those drugs. Another aspect of the problem is that the system and the individuals who profited from addicted patients did nothing to aid those addicts. For too long they were treated like dirt-bag drug addicts even as the true nature of the industry was being exposed. It's all very dehumanizing. Doctors will look out for doctors, lawyers for lawyers (the distinction between judge, prosecutor, and defense are meaningless distinctions because it is them against us), and everyone else is left scrambling-- unless we organize ourselves they way they organized themselves.
