Even if a doctor didn't believe that medications were safe, they wouldn't really have the option to tell that to the patient would they? They are expected to hand out pills. Patients want pills.
I remember reading that an extrodinarily disproportionatly few number of Eli Lilly workers actually took prozac. They still have to push it even if they don't believe in it. Same thing goes for the doctors. They probably think that if they try enough pills maybe the patient will eventually stop whining.
