Are there some cases that need meds? Sure. But I bet you a lot of them

I've had numerous cases over the years where a doctor has written me a
perscription "just in case". For example, I once had a nasty stomach flu
(or some such; I don't recall the details) where she prescribed something
that I presume was anti-nausea. I never filled the prescription.

It's nice, I suppose, that a doctor is willing to provide options, but she's
always quite clear that it's my choice whether I actually need to exercise
the option.

This may not be analogous to the OPs situation, of course.
