Can a doctor tell if you have done heroin if you are perscribed Oxycontin?

Yes a doctor run a tox screen and tell the difference. Though both are in the same drug family they are very different and their metabolites are different. For instance if you submit a urine sample while using heroin and Oxycontin and it is put through a gc/ms the doctor would know Oxycontin and another opiate had been used. The heroin will probably show up as morphine since heroin breaks down into morphine in the body. The doctor may not however tell the difference between morphine and heroin.

Difference between morphine and heroin?

The only significant difference between them is that the acetyl molecule allows heroin to cross the blood-brain barrier more quickly than ordinary morphine. The result is that, in terms of dosage, heroin is about three times stronger. That is, one grain of heroin equals about three grains of morphine. Otherwise, they are identical and there is no significant difference that would justify heroin being completely illegal (Schedule I) while morphine is used routinely in medicine. (Schedule II) They can be used interchangeably as long as medical personnel follow standard practices of medical care.
