          Don't be afraid to question a doctor about any med s/he prescribes. If he gets mad or appears reluctant then LEAVE. Find another doc! U should nvr be prescribed antibiotics B4your lab results r show u need them. Lazy & uncaring doctors do that. #TakeChargeOfYourLife cc @WanjiraL

          We’ve been careless and have been taking antibiotics when they are uncalled for and we’re on track to render them ineffective!
