I was walking down the hallway to the laundry room today and these two ladies were walking by the other direction. One of them said the following:
"Well, I'm starting to get sick, but my husband has some antibiotics left over from the last time he was sick, so I'm going to take those."
ARGH!!!1 Don't people understand how antibiotics work? Sweet Jesus. There is a lady I work with who is great and hilarious and smart but this time last year I overheard her saying this:
"My daughter is going to Mexico next week, and since flu season is coming up I'm going to have her pick me up a giant bottle of amoxicillan."
THE FLU IS A VIRUS NOT A BACTERIA AND ANTIBIOTICS DO NOT HELP. They are only making things worse.
Please tell me that you all understand how antibiotics work and restore my faith in humanity. Sometimes I listen to what people are saying about medicine and I feel like I've eaten a giant bowl of crazy and can't possibly be hearing what I'm hearing.

I think this culture thrive on stupidity. It keeps people buying lots of things they don't need.
