No antibiotics for you.

wayfaringmd:

Things I have been asked to “just call me in some antibiotics, Doc” for in the last month:

• seasonal allergies
  
• acid reflux
• nausea
• about a thousand viral runny noses and sore throats
• swollen uvula
• allergic rash
• the flu

Arguments people have made to get antibiotics:

• I promise I will come in to be checked out if the antibiotics don’t work.
  
• It would make me feel better.
• I might get sick over the weekend and I need them just in case.
• Last year I had this for weeks and could never get over it (it was a virus last year too!).
• Zpaks are the only thing that ever work for me.
• Dr. S would have given it to me.

My answer to all these patients: 

Absolute gold 😂 Anyone keen to go guerrilla with me and sneak into GPs’ offices with a thousand of these to stick them to every wall? *smears on war paint*
