Free Antibiotics!
Wow. I totally missed this last week: Publix, a Florida-based chain of super markets, announced last week that it was offering free antibiotics. With a prescription, of course. But still - this is pretty appalling. I mean, antibiotics are way overprescribed as it is, for just about any condition they're used for (check out a simple Google search for proof), so the fact that Publix is fomenting that misuse is, well, kinda craven. So much for the fight against antibiotic resistance, at least in Florida...
