An exaggeration... to be sure...
I get one or two sinus infections a year... and it bugs the hell out of me to pay a doctor $100 to look up my nose for 3 seconds, and say "yup.. you have a sinus infection... here's a perscription".
I probably would NOT have taken an antibiotic that I have never taken before, but I'm sick and tired of paying for a "medical opinion" that I've been diagnosing successfully for 20 years... (I've never thought I had one, and been told by a doctor I didn't).
