Question

Why doctors are refraining from prescribing anti biotics?

Answer 1

Explanation:

More than half the GP respondents to the survey in Australia self-reported that they would prescribe antibiotics for an URTI to meet patient expectations. Our qualitative findings suggest that ‘patient expectations’ may be the main reason given for inappropriate prescribing, but it is an all-encompassing phrase that includes other reasons. These include limited time, poor doctor–patient communication and diagnostic uncertainty. We have identified three role archetypes to explain the behaviour of GPs in reference to antibiotic prescribing for URTIs.

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\red{HOLA!!}$

Interviews with doctors reveal that they may quickly prescribe antibiotics because they want to avoid lengthy explanations of why the drugs are not needed and because a shorter office visit allows them to see more patients.
