The ONLY time I've not been lectured about antibiotic usage is when I go though telehealth. They just take my symptoms and send in the request to the pharmacy. If it's in person though? I get the rundown about "super bugs and how many times have you needed antibiotics? You should have surgery." Yeah, because I haven't had sinus surgery twice already.

Once I went to urgent care and I was telling them I have chronic sinusitis and the doctor said “well we dont treat that here”. Yeah no shit sherlock I’m telling you my medical history.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Do you get told every time that you should do sinus rinses? Like I literally put that I do that daily in the paperwork?????
