This year, like many years past, I got bronchitis. To get to the point, I don’t want to waste my time going to a doctor and paying a co-pay for them to tell me what I already know. I received anti-biotics and robitussin with codeine, and it cleared right up last year.
The cough medicine isn’t a big deal, but the anti-biotics are what I’m curious about. I know that they are controlled substances, but is there anyway to avoid to bullshit process or do I have to go see and doctor and do the whole song and dance?
If not, I’ll make an appointment and deal with it. But might as well save time if possible.
Can’t get antibiotics without a prescription, with good reason too. Overuse of antibiotics breeds antibiotic resistant bacteria. Or is it people that become immune to them? I don’t remember. Either way, if the general public takes them too much then they stop working.
So no there’s no legal way to get an antibiotic without seeing a doctor.

You might (but probably not) be able to call the doctors office and be a real dick and say “listen bitches, this is the same shit I get every year and you prescribe the same shit every time. Can you just save us both the time and write me a script without an exam?” It’s legal, but most offices won’t go for it.
Sell the robitussin with codeine to a ghetto dude who wants to make purple drank to cover the cost of the doctor visit…Or just see if you have any amoxil laying around your house from previous illnesses
One of those after-hours clinics wouldnt be a bad gig if you dont wanna deal with appointments. I went to the one in the dent tower when I had strep, no appointment, in the evening, was out an hour later with the scripts I needed.
I went there once. It really was in and out. Very nice. You might want to run that one by your insurance though. Any healthcare after 5pm tends to be ass expensive, but I don’t remember paying a premium at the urgent care center.
without insurance its like 250, and the worse medical care you can get.
my father had a serious sinus infection, they gave him some 5 pills in a pop pack and said this will cure it.
It didnt, it didnt even touch it, bill came in the mail, 250.
