Yes. All too many doctors are guilty of this. But it is often the patient who pressures them.

Patient - "I'm sick".
Doctor - "You have a common cold".
Patient - "I need an anti-biotic".
Good Doctor - "No you don't. You have a viral infection in which case an anti-biotic will not help and could actually be harmful"
Bad Doctor - "Sure. Here is an RX but use a prescribed
Bad Patient - I took them for one day and felt better and stopped but will save for later the next time I get the sniffles"
