> I should buy antibiotics for my kid without waiting four, five hours to be seen and processed
Disagree. Antibiotics should not be taken lightly, especially by kids. Doctors have been far too liberal in prescribing them even when unnecessary and this has caused people to think antibiotics are to be taken like vitamins.
This antibiotic abuse causes issues that are out of scope to discuss here.
Which is why I get annoyed when Dr. prescribe them more liberally than I would; for things that they'll admit are probably viral.
But when a girl with a history of UTI is screaming in pain they come back with "Id rather wait for the cultures to come back"
No. Bugger off and give me the meds. I know my kid. I know what she has. And the culture confirms it three days layer every time.
