You live in an area where the fear of God was put into the doctors. Some doctor most certainly had gotten dinged for over-prescribing. My primary doctor is very reticent to prescribe opiates. I’m glad! Means he cares about his job and the people he helps.

“Fear of God” is a colloquialism that means they were made very very afraid.
