I’m not in the medical field myself, but don’t doctors take the following pledge right from graduation from medical school: ‘First, do no harm’?

Scary stuff.

Well, they are even trying to get the Hippocratic Oath eradicated.

Point is, you never see this in hospitals, they are too structured with too much oversight (too many eyes) and they have constant training for physicians they have to sign off on regarding dosing for pain, etc...more of a corporate environment.

In a private physician office setting, it is different. IMO, that is where the real fraud goes on.

As I am wont to say, “50% of the doctors graduate in the lower half of their class.”

(granted, where they graduate is not always an indicator of how good a doctor someone might might make, but it is a proxy. There are doctors who were not accomplished in school but become very good because they are tuned in with their patients, and others who graduate high from an ivy league school who aren’t worth a bucket of warm spit.)
