That sounds like there are no medical professionals involved, but aren't medical professionals prescribing the antibiotics?
- untog 7y agoI'm not an expert here but I believe the argument is that because it's consumer driven if a patient wants antibiotics then they can just shop around doctors until they find one willing to prescribe. Plus of course, drug manufacturers aggressively pitching their product to doctors.
