Re: Antibiotic 'apocalypse' warning
Part of the problem is people running to the doctor at the slightest thing but the main reason is how readily doctors have fobbed so many off with anti biotics instead of sending them home telling them they will be fine in a few days. Actually discussed this at xmas with a friend who is a gp (he qualified in 2011) and he said there was an acceptence now that AB's had been given out way too freely but the genie was out of the bottle. He also said there are some new one's in development that would be ready in the next five years but once they were released there would have to be a tightening of the system to prevent them being over used.
Are people going to toughen up enough in five years i doubt it so it will be interesting to see how this goes.
