yes... Its quite unfortunate. The doctors will proscribe as much as they can so they can get kickbacks from big pharma without killing the victim er... patient. Sadly worse things can happen.
Everything about this article is wrong. Not incorrect, just a grave injustice.
Pharma and doctors who prescribe for money (Which is most. Yes. it’s most.)
