GPs won't prescribe on the basis that you might get sick and require a particular medication. You can't walk into your GP's office and ask for antibiotics, for instance.
- inferiorhuman 7y agoThat's pretty much the exact set of circumstances that chloroquine is usually prescribed under.

- jcims 7y agoThat’s the least bit of malpractice I’ve seen in the past year.
