It’s incredible that they are so out of touch they see healthy introspection, and love as mental illness. This reminds me of when I had an actual bacterial infection, couldn’t get my Dr to prescribe antibiotics for it, so I got some on my own and they worked. When I pulled my medical records I saw in my chart something like “inappropriate off label use of prescription medications.”
- redblacktree 2y agoHow did you pull your medical records?
- _yb2s 2y agoI believe it's a legal right to request them. I sent them an official form requesting them, and they sent them to me, as I wanted to transfer my old records to a new doctor. These were old style records, nowadays most of that stuff will be automatically on some type of web portal.
- f1refly 2y agoI think you can just ask your doctor for them? Why would someone deny you your own medical records?
- redblacktree 2y agoI wasn't thinking that it would be denied. My curiosity was more with respect to how easy or difficult it is to request them.
- therobots927 2y agoHow did you acquire the antibiotics?
- _yb2s 2y agoIn this case I already had them- I had previously pulled a muscle that was causing a lot of pain, and a doctor inappropriately prescribed me a course of antibiotics for a physical injury that couldn't possibly be an infection, so I never took them. It really grates me that numerous times I've been inappropriately prescribed antibiotics- but the one time I had a dangerous and debilitating bacterial infection I was unable to obtain them. However many human safe antibiotics are legal to buy for animal use, and many countries sell oral antibiotics for human use over the counter without a prescription. Please- if anyone is reading this, don't use antibiotics inappropriately. Ideally work with a doctor,but if not make sure you actually need them, and you take a full course in the proper dose to avoid creating dangerous resistant strains.
- therobots927 2y agoYeah I don’t want to use them inappropriately. That being said I’ve gotten strep recently a couple times, and both times I wished I just had a few to start taking if the symptoms came on at night or over a weekend. That being said last time I had a sore throat it turned out to be Covid, and I was convinced I had strep again. So if I had my own antibiotics it’s possible I would’ve taken them inappropriately.
