      That is interesting. But a consideration for the doctor, not the layperson. Everyday people should still take the full course prescribed and hope their physician has prescribed the right dose.

        You are absolutely right. People should trust their doctors, but doctors should also update their knowledge.

      Where in that document does it say that patients should decide on their own to stop taking antibiotics because they “feel better now”?

      This is something one can bring up with the doctor who prescribed it, but not a decision to make on feelings.

        Where in my post did I say that patients should decide on their own to stop taking medication?

        I tried to share some information, that show nothing is black and white and only because something is believed by many, that something can still be wrong.

          The meme you commented under is about someone getting attention by prematurely stopping to take antibiotics.

          If you don’t want people to assume what you mean, please add context.
