I think it would be a disservice to the patient for a Dr. to prescribe a 12 day regimine and the associated cost to either the patient or the insurance co. for a suspected cause of illness, when within a few minutes and for a few dollars they could ascertain whether the treatment was justified. Also even worse, if the patient were to have a drug reaction taking a drug he didn't need, it would be what I'd consider an unconscionable act. Incidentally, about a week ago I had a drug reaction to Cefclor, an antibiotic which I'd previously taken without incident before, and let me tell you it's no fun. I had to go to the emergency room, get a shot in the stomach, and two in the but. Two of the shots were extremely painful, to a degree I'd never experienced with shots.
