You may see more that one doctor, they don't necessarily know what the other doctor is prescribing. Even if they do, knowledge of drug interactions is generally the realm of a pharmacist, rather than an MD. I look at it as a checks and balances kind of thing, doctors do make mistakes.
That said, I'm fine with a pharmacist reviewing the medical aspects of a prescription. Leave the morality at home, or make it public, don't let me find out when I try to pick it up.
