He treats blind? Like no attempts at culturing and identifying the bacteria? No wonder there's a huge resistance to ABX.
Oh and Z packs, you Americans are so fucking retarded. Take antibiotics for everything, use polysporin/neosporin on all the cuts (which has ABX) then wonder why they don't work.
Culture first. THEN treat.

Blindly calling all Americans retarded is probably a bad idea, since it is our public health officials and doctors that are the only one that may legally advise and treat infections. We are told to use antibiotic cream by the red cross. We are told take these pills by our doctors. We have NO control over what they do.
I have specifically refused treatment when offered antibiotics until a culture could be done before. I had to go to a different doctor than I usually do, pay extra fees and wait several days until I could be treated. If I waited until the last minute, I would have died waiting for medicine especially in rural America. Doctors here throw "something at it" and then wonder why you come back in a week later half dead. I know that ALSO happened to me. I ended up in the hospital for a week with kidney failure from a simple UTI that grew into the GODZILLA of UTI's. Literally two medicines in the world that would treat it. I'm lucky to be alive.
