I don't think this is true any more. I made a list [1] of high prescribing doctors (with sql). I noticed that some of the highest opioid prescribing doctors are in jail now. If you are a doctor these days you avoid opioids like the plague. [Keeping Medical Malpractice Insurance is hard enough].

My newest doctor makes me sign a sheet that he doesn't prescribe opioids at all.
