Don’t ask for antibiotics if not needed


PETALING JAYA: It is tough for doctors to convince patients that they do not need antibiotics, the Malaysian Medical Association president Dr H. Krishna Kumar said.

“They will just dismiss the ‘stupid’ doctor’s advice and go to another clinic,” he said, adding that patients should stop demanding for antibiotics.
