No anti biotic for you

 I am onto these doctors now. Previously at the slightest hint of a green phlegmy cough you would get some anti-biotic and hey presto the problem would be gone in days. But it seems these days not so easy.  Because I had a long weekend in the way and then tried a telehealth phone consultation that did not connect, it was eight days into a cold/flu episode before I got thru to the doc.  I described the whole thing and was told to soldier on as I was thru the worst of it anyway.  The enphasis is now on the annual flu injection as the main prevention. Previous over subscription of anti-biotics is lessening its effect and allowing certain bugs to stiffen resistance. So we have to go back to hot lemon drinks with honey or buy flavoured Hypol mixture like the pre anti-biotic days.  The doc said another week and you will be fine and I will put this phone call down to medicare. Thanks!
