Not a lawyer, but it seems plausible that doctors here do 'nothing' in terms of doing damages that would establish legal standing. A doctor that is prescribing medications indicated to treat a diagnosed condition at reasonable dosages isn't doing harm/inflicting damages on patients. And if there are broader social harms coming from aggregated practices of physicians in general (e.g. over-prescribing), it would be unreasonable for any individual physician or medical practice to bear the burden of punishment/compensatory payment on behalf of the industry in general.
This sort of thing is better handled through regulatory and legislative means. Perhaps it's not being handled particularly well at the moment, but the status quo seems preferable to establishing precedent that one can successfully sue a doctor for writing appropriate prescriptions for drugs that are scarce due to supply chain bottlenecks.
