Yeah, that's definitely true. The DEA should've picked up on that faster.
I didn't make it clear enough, but I was also trying to get at the idea that even the guidelines might be corrupt. So maybe the issue isn't even in the hands of the doctors in the first place.
I know a doctor here in Europe and he's pretty vocal about his disdain for those guidelines in his particular field (oncology). He mentions things like new and expensive medication with unclear side effects being recommended over cheap, old tried-and-tested stuff, clearly with the motivation of making more profit. And by not following the guidelines you take a huge personal risk.
