In a message dated 21/10/96 23:24:06, you write: >I wonder how many people prescribe antibiotics over the telephone >because that's what the patient rings up for and it save a consultation? >-- Never, definately not, over my dead body, except on a weekend/bank holiday/when working for deputising/oh all right then I confess...... I will for uncomplicated cystitis in women without backache as long as they have no history of renal problems and they promise to do an MSU afterwards. The only other time is for patients who have had rescue courses of antibiotics in the past (with severe asthma/coad) and who have not renewed their script but have a further exacerbation. I need to have personal knowledge of the patient to do this. Everyone else gets seen.
