I'm already hearing people who in June said "Lockdown until vaccine!" saying they dont trust the vaccines that are being talked about. Its hilarious we're going to end up with like 40% of people vaccinated.

Vaccines: Start to roll out to the public.

America: Still sees 100,000 cases/day.

Antibiotic use in babies linked to allergies, asthma and other conditions, study finds.

Maybe it's not a vaccine after all... It's those antibiotics?

Or both?


Or 5g?

The economics of medicine are so frustrating with stuff like this.
Someone sees me. I take the time I don't have to tell them they don't need antibiotics. That counseling takes more time than just writing a script. It's a virus. Antibiotics just gonna give diarrhea, etc.
They leave my office, they are sure they need antibiotics and go to a local urgent care that promptly gives them antibiotics because of the lack of continuity of care and just trying to move patients along. Patient is refinforced that they "needed" antibiotics. Their cold clears up in 5-7 days just like it always would. They believe the antibiotics helped. I'm the bad doctor in their mind. They tell others not to go to me since I obviously don't know what I'm doing.

More time, more effort, more penalty to do the right thing.
Less time, less effort, reward to do the wrong thing.

Same goes with vaccines, imaging, you name it. Patients drive the ship and outside of changing payment models I don't really know how to fix this while maintaining a healthy patient autonomy (which is important).

People are retarded, I'm sorry you have to deal with them. Have you ever thought about getting into plastic surgery instead?

People who have a few (sometimes just one) days of congestion and feeling bad come in asking for antibiotics all the time.
They are often under the misguided belief that they will make them feel better. They also have a variety of symptoms that they have been told by others indicate the need for antibiotics such as yellow snot instead of clear.

If I had known how cool mohs and other complex surgeries were, I wouldn't have been so quick to disregard Derm. I was too stupid to know.

Don't be too hard on yourself, you're kind of like Captain America.
