No, sorry “the doctor knows it won’t work” is complete BS.

We don’t spend 100x on a drug because a doctor “has a feeling”.

The insurance requirements are typically quite limited for 1st line failures. Doctor just needs to prescribe then 2 weeks later attest that it didn’t work.

Seems reasonable to save the healthcare system thousands of dollars when tens of dollars would do?
