"90% of the time when you go to the doctor, you just need the sanity check and the antibiotics."
Actually, most of the time the patient just needs the sanity check and a prescription for something to alleviate the symptoms of their condition (i.e. a cough suppressant) enough for them to be able to get a decent night's sleep so their body can heal itself. Antibiotics are way overprescribed. Most of the time you don't need them.
