Boy, are you a dummy. Never try to argue with Mephisto.

Yeah, a culture and a narrow spectrum is probably the best way to go. On the other hand, I've been going to a clinic connected with a very good hospital for several years now. I spent 4 hours getting a busy signal this morning so I went to a walk in Doctor who asked what I wanted and wrote me a prescription of E.mycin. It works. Has worked 30 times before. Cures it. No resistant germs are spread. By tomorrow I'll be feeling great and I will take all ten days, always have. Total cost $41.

Now I could protest the system and maybe see the Doctor on Wednesday, get cultured on Thursday at the hospital. Go back to the Doctor on Tuesday and get a prescription for E.mycin. Later get an opinion from a private laboratory that did a second culture to prove the first. Total cost $500 if I'm lucky plus an extra week of hacking my lungs up so much I have a headache.

Odds are no culture would be ordered so I could just hack up gobs of goobers until next June. No thanks.
