Anti-biotic resistance is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. It's a growing problem that is putting the health and safety of patients at risk. The overuse, misuse and abuse of antibiotics is leading to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can cause serious infections that are difficult to treat.

Even as a young #pediatric resident in the 1980s it became obvious to me that it was much quicker to write an #antibiotic Rx than to explain to patients/parents why an antibiotic wasn’t needed. Sadly, too many beleaguered providers choose the former. #healthcare #AntimicrobialStewardship #PatientCare #AntibioticOveruse #medicine
