Oh. So just suffer until Monday and risk sepsis so I can wait for doctor to prescribe me antibiotics that PBS covers. Or go to hospital and wait and wait and wait and wait in the hope that I am seen and they get the right diagnosis?
@drron if you knew me well enough you'd know that I don't just take antibiotics at the drop of a hat. I knew my wife was suffering and we went to medical centre where it took 3 days for the results to come through but "doctor" was more concerned that my wife had covid with 2 episodes 1 week apart and doctor didn't want to catch covid. LOL. No. Wife is complaining of kidney pain. Wife has fever and chills. It is not covid. Same symptoms 1 week apart. It is more than likely UTI but we've it left too long. Hospital 24 hours later in serious condition.
@Pushka I know exactly what I'm buying in Thailand. I'm buying from reputable pharmacies. These are reputable antibiotics.
As for daughter seeing a doctor. We saw our doctor. He said let her get over it naturally. Went to medical centre and she prescribed puffer/inhaler. FFS that's not going to help with a severe infection that being going 3-4 weeks. She had 11 infections last year. Too many in my book. One of them lasted 6-8 weeks. This year shes had 2 already.
@drron I don't need to change because I'm not doing anything wrong. My GP of many years who knew how I'd suffered for many years said "John, you need to self medicate. Don't wait to see a doctor."
I was getting throat infections 3-4 times a year. I could not breathe. I could not swallow. Some were in Thailand. Run around trying to find a doctor that speaks English or go to hospital and tell them what's wrong like I did when I had cellulitis. Some were here on a weekend. I know they were serious. Any doctor would know they were serious. There was no way I'd wait to see if my body would fight these infections. It's torture. I don't need to prove Im tough. In 2019 I had 2 serious infections that lasted between 6-8 weeks each. That was torture. Antibiotic the only way to go.
So please be critical if I've done something wrong otherwise tell me I've done well to get to infection quickly.
