Nearly all requests for antibios are by either the worried who want to get
better unrealistically quickly or more often engendered by doctors having
given them in the past for the same problem-it's us who create the
expectation. It's our signature on the 'script, our legal responsibility too,
so be up front and don't feel yo need to apologise when declining unnecessary
antibios or anything else for that matter. It's our decision to prescribe, not
the patients. Prescribing is really the thing GP's truly have control over,
afterall if you don't sign a 'script the pt doesn't get the drug, at least not
from you!
