Worse than doctors pescribing not needed drugs to make patients happy
You know, just this morning, I was talking with two of my co-workers who had sick children. Viral. So the doctors did not give them antibiotics. But they had still had high fevers the next day and both parents called the doctors to try and get antibiotics. One said okay, and one didn't. Now, I don't know much about medicine, but antibiotics don't work against viruses - so how can they help for the fever?
Also, a bit a separate note, but has anyone else read about the medication that ends up in our drinking water?
