In much of the world -- including almost all of Asia, Africa, and much of Eastern Europe

Doctors in the US get a nice $200 to $500 per doctors visit, required to extend the prescription drug. I only notice because I pay cash. This is why they will argue against anything I am saying until they are code-blue in the face. I will leave them with my code brown.

In the US you can get any drug if you pay $120 and recite the magic words to a telemedicine "doctor."

That's how a number of us in a particular circle stock up on anti-biotics. That said anti-biotics are a last resort for me whereas I find doctors are quick to prescribe them.
