Why does it matter if they do?
I've seen a lot of doctors who insist patients must be making up things when they say "but XYZ", and my question becomes...so what?
If someone credibly lies to you and gets codeine or ritalin or something once or twice...that's not really significant, in terms of negative outcomes.
If someone lies to reach a medical professional, then you treat them like any other bad customer interaction and stop doing business with them after some point.
You're going to have to choose, denying people in need directly, or doing it indirectly because other people game the process and get in the way of those in need.
