Ignoring the fact that you don't treat bronchitis with antibiotics, and the fact that upper respiratory infections are usually viral and again not treated with antibiotics, and the fact that doctors always listen to patients about allergies, and the fact that athizromycin isn't the preferred antibiotic for a bacterial upper respiratory, and the fact that its a patients responsibility to be their own best advocate, and the fact that if your "friend" knew she was allergic to it she should have exercised some intelligence and not taken it, and about a half dozen other things... sure.This is part of the problem
Its taken some trial and error to find an Md that didnt think they were going to dictate various things to customers.
Your typical Md-Customer situation is that after having a sum total of 10 mins per year with the person......ie they have no fooking clue about the person or the persons history, requirements, etc.....they dictate a course of action/treatment/etc.
Friend of mine was forced to change Md's after long term Md retired
She came down with Bronchitis couple months back, went to new Md who confirmed and wanted to prescribe antibiotic in penicillin family......she's allergic to it....says so in her file/records.....she told the Md she was allergic and the dumb twat Md insisted that she try this med and refused to prescribe tried/true zpak which was in her records as being used successfully
Sure enough a couple days later after having an allergic reaction she has to spend more money to go back and battle with the young dumb twat md with no listening or reading skills and guess what she walked out with a script for......zpak and another script for something to help alleviate the allergic reaction.....at her own cost of course
And here I was thinking that people go to doctors to dictate a course of treatment to people. I really appreciate you letting me know I had that backwards.
I see we've reached the point in our discussion where the facts don't matter and the biases and conspiracies run free. Cheers guys.
