I was at the doctor today for my yearly physical. They have posted all these new signs.

Sometimes rest if the best thing a doctor can prescribe. Listed there is do not pressure your doctor in given you antibiotics.

My doctor would not let me pressure them into anything. I think it's important that my doctor listen to me- but be the doctor.

What are your thoughts?

I agree that we have over-medicated ourselves in the past. I for one have tried not to take meds unless it has become absolutely necessary. Our bodies are wonderful at fighting disease unless we over-medicate it so it loses the ability to do so.

I agree I only take medicine when I have to. It seems as a society we want to pop the pill that seems to make us feel better right then.

MMMMM, It seems like maybe that doctor is gettin people that do try to get meds from him. I`m like all of you, I don`t pressure my doc for meds. i`d much rather not be on meds. My doc doesn`t have that kind of sign up. Just the usual about co payments and stuff.

I would never pressure my doctor into giving me medication. I go to a doctor for advice and help, and I greatly respect his opinion.

Like many people I only take medication if I really need it.

I know when I'm feeling terrible and I think it's an ear infection- I want antibiotics.

When I go to the doctor and they tell me it's viral not bacterial and they won't help- I listen. I usually start to feel better with just rest and taking better care of myself.

I was just surprised to see all of these new posters.

I honestly believe that a lot of these antibiotics cause more problems that the good they do. I have taken antibiotics and end up with other ailments that were traced directly to the pills I took. Proper rest and a good diet does go a long way in healing one's body.
