I know doctors have to explain viruses are not affected by medicines that attack bateria. That is why you have to sit there and explain it to them. That’s part of the job. It’s also part of keeping a good reputation as a doctor, because other doctors if and when they review your treatments will see you are incorrectly prescribing meds that are not appropriate for what a patient has.

people want drs to act doctorly, but they don't really want them to on the other hand...they want it both ways..
