I agree with everything that you said, except for this line. It depends on the doctor and the condition for which the medication was prescribed. For instance, because of a heart disorder I have, I am heavily prone to trigger-less, sudden panic attacks. My doctor, knowing this, tried me on several things before placing me on a prescription for a strong anxiety medicine - my prescription was a month's supply, 30 pills.
That said, it is rare. My doctor knew about my condition ahead of time, so we had a strong doctor-patient relationship.
Also, a manager found out I was on this particular drug and tried to get me to sell them because they could net $20 a pill. Um, no? So if a manager couldn't get me to sell my pills even after I learned to control my anxiety, I'm not sure how this pledge was forced.
