The assumption here is that 'doctor's offices' have that kind of cash to throw around? I'm wracking my brain trying to understand who these mythical doctors are who need masks more than hospitals which are the actual front lines of treating COVID-19 and are alarmingly low on PPE.

Some doctors treat COVID-19 patients. If they have no PPE, they're more likely to get infected themselves and pass the virus to their other patients. Or they can outbid some hypochondriacs.
