If the medicos on that boat were improperly prescribing anti-biotics they ought to be brought before a medical board.
How many people do you know who have gone to the doctor for a bad cold and were prescribed an antibiotic?
Why does everyone say it’s “anti-biotics”? There is no such statement in there.
“treated by our ship’s doctors with over-the-counter medication”
- the only reference to medication. OTC cannot be anti-biotics, anyway, and they did not specify such. Even if Rx it could’ve been Compazine or Phenergan, which help symptoms, not cure it.
