@pepemac27 The number of bronch babies routinely started on antibiotics and bronchodilators… 😐
@chrispaget1 @pepemac27 My fave is "likely viral": antibiotics given anyway
@PharmRJ @chrispaget1 @pepemac27 Salbutamol for any chest infection with SOB. No asthma diagnosis.
@DanyRos1 @PharmRJ @chrispaget1 The antibiotics have to be IV. That's the best way to make the viruses go away. I know because @DrAdamLawton told me so.
@pepemac27 @DanyRos1 @PharmRJ @DrAdamLawton There’s an I and a V in VIRUS. What more proof do you want?
@chrispaget1 @pepemac27 @DanyRos1 @PharmRJ IV antibiotics are not only stronger, but they're also conclusive proof that your doctor takes you seriously. Never accept oral antibiotics, everyone knows antibiotics cannot be absorbed from the gut. "If it's not IV, it's not for me"
