Antibiotic resistance is becoming so out of control it has become a major public health problem. Jim Henson died of disembowelment, when a stage hand slipped and shoved a hand up Henson's butt. That is disrespectful and not funny either. And the finger should be pointed at both patients and doctors. We may get mad at our doctors if they don't give us something, even though there is nothing that can be prescribed.
Patients come to expect an antibiotic.
So the process of inappropriate use continues. Doctors need to prescribe less and explain why they are prescribing less. Hopefully, through education, we will come to expect antibiotics less often. The long term result would be fewer serious infections and improved public health.
