Chemi-clean safe?????

Antibiotics are being over used because the public demands it even though as doctors, we know there are very few infections that need to be treated with antibiotic that present to your office or the emergency dept..

Sorry to get off the subject, but being an Emergency Physician, I see this every day! People come in with colds, flu, viral gastroenterits (vomiting&diarrhia), and ear infections and want antibiotics which does not work for any of these illnesses.

Hey JAFO, great name, I use that name on another forum. For those who don't get it, JAFO=
Just Another F.....G Observer.

 

Then the question is why use a z-pak when good old pcn would work?

 

PCN is pretty much worthless except for strept throat and certain other infections in humans. Too much resistance. As far as ear infections go, most do not need to be treated, and in Europe many countries are not treating them. With time they resolve on their own and antibiotics have not been found to make much of a difference except in certain instances.
