They (doctors) actually do both. Prescribe pills when they aren't needed, people get addicted, can't get more, turn to hard drugs.
People who need them get pathetic prescriptions and can't get more because they "might" get addicted. They give you like a week's worth for a 3 months recovery. Just experienced this with my dad. 9 days of painkillers so I bought him a ton of weed to make up for it. Kidney issue means no aspirin so I kinda had to. Fucked my wallet up with all the munchy foods lol.
The VA, or doctors in general? When my back was totally fucked, to the point I could hardly walk I could barely get any pain meds.
