Sure they do, it’s why doctors these days prescribe pills versus recommending healthy habits.

There are no healthy habit recommendations anymore in many practices due to anti shame culture etc.

This is different to other parts of the world with healthier citizens.

Anti-shame culture is not what we’re talking about. What we were talking about was doctors prescribing pills that patients asked for to lower their liability, which is nonsense.

Doctors are humans though and if people repeatedly ask for a specific treatment some percentage of them will offer it. That’s how drug advertising impacts prescriptions. Nothing to do with liability.
