As an Australian I am surprised of this article. I hardly ever take any medications at all let alone antibiotics willy nilly.

- batiudrami 3y agoMy partner is a GP and it is very common for patients to come in and, rather than describing symptoms, will ask directly for antibiotics. They can be quite pushy when she says no, so I imagine some doctors take the path of least resistance and just prescribe them.
- anakaine 3y agoAs an Aussie I've had the odd amusing chats with my GP on this topic. His response it usually a flat "antibiotics fix a problem which you don't have. Right now they will most likely make you worse by destroying bacteria which are helping you. Do you want to get worse?".
