Can't remember the last time either of my lads had antibiotics and on the very few occasions they been to our GP with bugs, they've always been reluctant to prescribe them and explained why.

I think far too many people nowadays want a quick fix for everything and demand tablets for minor things that years ago we would have just put up with. I dare say a lot of GPs have prescribed pills more for a quieter life than anything else.

It's a bit like carbon emissions though, there's not much value in reducing the use of antibiotics in the UK if much of the rest of the world is doing the opposite.
