you think any dr. in his right mind would not order antibiotics IF they knew they would be sued repeatedly for any complication that came along....
people want drs to act doctorly, but they don't really want them to on the other hand...they want it both ways..
One real problem is they cannot prescribe them things that might help because they are not drugs.
Prescribe them Echinacea, Goldenseal, Ginseng, Eleuthero, Oil of Oregano,, garlic, zinc, a good B-complex vitamin, vitamin C, D, E, and other immune system boosters.
They aren’t drugs, unless they are naturopathic doctors they won’t even consider that. You can’t bill for this stuff, so it will never be prescribed. If they could, then people could feel like the doctor ‘did something’.
