It's interesting Doug. This was just an Infectious Disease specialist making fun of us. The reality is that when you prescribe the wrong antibiotic or antibiotic treatment at home without proper medical advice, you kill many bacteria. But those that survive develop resistance and become stronger.

In an infinite loop, this leads to a global burden of resistance that is estimated to be one of the largest health costs and mortality rates in the world by 2050.

That is why in the specialty, the normal way to delay this is to prescribe effective antibiotics:

- With the smallest possible spectrum
- The shortest possible time to generate correct treatment
- The one that generates less adverse effects and harm to the patient
- The cheapest within the efective

Almost all doctors prescribe antibiotics, few really know about them and how to use. That's why there is a 3-year long specialty for it.

Here I leave you an article and a video with kittens. Have a great day. #DocChain
