Overprescribed Antibiotics
If you go to an urgent care and find yourself walking away with a prescription for antibiotics, you should probably think twice about taking them.
Antibiotics are unnecessary and even harmful when taken for viruses, colds, or influenza.
Taking them drives the rise of superbugs, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, that make future infections hard to treat.
In a recent article published by the Journal of American Medicine Association, they found that professionals in all outpatient setting prescribed antibiotics for conditions for which they are considered useless approximately 46% of the time.

Before you spend your money purchasing unnecessary drugs, ask the doctor or, more likely, the nurse practitioner, you see to clarify your diagnosis. If you are told you have a cold, the flu or a virus, think twice about getting that prescription.

What happened to the care in healthcare?
Money drove healthcare before,
and it still does.
Economics has always determined the type and quality of care you got.
You picked and you paid.
But its who gets the money that has changed.
It used to be doctors; today its insurance companies.
If a doctor is "in network", you can afford it. But it is the insurance company
that determines the network, not you.
For many, their closest in-network doctor is more than one hour away. Some people, like me, are assigned primary care doctors that are more than 2 hours away from where they live. As insurance companies continue to put financial pressure on providers, their ability to offer care will continue to decline.
