They still do. It's literally insane. Most will prescribe oral for everything even if it's just a cut. Not only will they give antibiotics they won't even tell someone to take a probiotic during treatment. Most doctors I've met over the years just phone it in and don't stay up to date on anything.
It’s partially doctors giving in to the demands of patients who want a prescription for everything. I think it’s a side effect of our expensive healthcare system. People don’t like paying their copay for just a band aid. Or to be told “it’s a virus, get some sleep and drink fluids”. They want to feel like they got something for their money.
