"I never get better without an antibiotic": antibiotic appeals and how to respond.
In this paper, the investigators present various scenarios in which patients who do not meet guideline criteria for antibiotic prescribing, appeal to clinicians for antibiotics. The authors discuss the issue of antiobiotic appeals and provide examples of responses for clinicians. They suggest that clinicians should acquire a stock of responses to these appeals grounded in the latest evidence about antibiotics.
