Truth. My doctor wanted to start putting me on antibiotics and then come back in a week to see if it had cleared up and then he would check me for MRSA. I’m like all it takes is 2 seconds to swab it and send it out for a test right? Let’s kill 2 birds with one stone and test it now and put me on antibiotics for what you may think it is. He in turn was right with his prognosis and it didn’t turn out to be MRSA.
