what's dump about my post, you stupid bearposter?

>Why isn't it standard to immediately test for all bacterial strains that cause infection?
There are extremely many reasons. The most pressing ones are that it would literally take years to test, that there is no guarantee that compound x from the bacterial strain that they are checking for is in the particular blood sample they're using, and that there will be a lot of false positives and negatives.

Deciding for yourself that you'll start on antibiotics is detrimental to yourself most of the time, and detrimental to society 100 % of the time.

Depending on the strain of bacteria, some antibiotics will work whereas others won't. It is not unusual that antibiotic x kills benign bacteria that are useful to you while the antibiotic has no effect against whatever's causing the inflammatory response (IR), resulting in the bacteria causing the IR displacing the benign bacteria and thus you've just made it harder for your immune system to tackle this shit.

Also, judging from the extremely limited information you provide in your post, statistically it's more likely that you're infected with one or more viruses than one or more bacterial strains.

Just do the world a favor and finish the antibiotic treatment independently of how you feel. That means you keep taking it even if you stay sick or think you are cured.

I want this meme to die.

Thanks but no thanks. You can blame your next superbug on me :^)

Dependent of the antibiotics. Most lose efficacy after a while and will only affect your gut flora, making you feel like shit. Some may break down and, depending on your dosage, hurt your kidneys.

Fuck off back to /x/, stupid vegan hippie, how the fuck can you believe this shit, show me the proof, where's the evidence, this isn't science, goddam budhist faggots.

>i'm smarter than the doctor lol

No, you're not.

Well most infections don't warrant anything more than bed rest and to stay hydrated, at worst, so given that consider the amount of time that testing all those people for all those separate possible infections. And what would be gained from it? You wouldn't be issued with antibiotics, at least you shouldn't be. So:
>Its a waste of time
>Its a waste of money
>It pushes people who actually need it down the waiting list, or alternatively, youll be so far down the list your infection would have cleared up long before you've been tested.
>After all of that you wouldn't be issued anything

So yeah, as someone else said, stupid frogposter. Also stop taking antibiotics for trival infections that you're immune system can handle. Dumb fucking frogposter.

Look, I am a doctoral student in pure mathematics, don't tell me some faggot with an applied anatomy degree rivals my intellect.
