I just about died from scarlet fever a year ago in the US because they wouldn't prescribe me antibiotics since the strep antigen tests kept coming back negative. I didn't get better until two weeks later when they finally gave me the antibiotics anyway. This was despite that fact that I displayed all the classic symptpoms: 107.5F fever, full body rash, chest pain, and blood in my urine. In my experience the only thing exceptionally good about US healthcare is its astoundingly effective PR team.
