Had an interesting episode at the doctor's office recently. I went in with a nasty sore throat and was told it wasn't strep (yay!). Doctor told me it's a viral infection, not bacterial.
"Let me write you a prescription for antibiotics."
Wait. Didn't you just say it was a virus?
"Umm... do I really need antibiotics?"
"No, not really. You can just gargle salt water four times a day instead."
Whoa Nellie!!! Now, I'm not in the medical profession, but it seems to me that a course of antibiotics and gargling salt water are on two vastly different ends of the treatment spectrum...
But that's just my humble opinion.
