[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH had a case where a 3-year-old kept coming in with strep. He kept prescribing antibiotics until he said they’d need to admit him because they just weren’t working. The mother then casually mentioned she’d never given him the antibiotic because she didn’t want him to get resistant to it. Last night, 60 Minutes ran a story about the worldwide health crisis of "superbugs" becoming resistant to antibiotics. Why? Because doctors are over-prescribing anti-biotics, which are truly needed in only one-third of medical cases. These young moms have a point. -- An older mom[/quote] No! These young moms don’t understand the difference between a situation in which it is prudent to treat due to the possibility of serious complications, and when a wait and see approach is acceptable because of the low risk to the child.
