It's only going to get worse.

Practicing primary care and good medicine often don't coincide nowadays because people expect antibiotics. Midlevel providers are some of the worst offenders of this.

So is the proliferation of antibiotics something the government addresses at a macro level?

Are there rules and regulations about prescribing them? Seems like you'd want to control how much gets disbursed to the population.

Wonder how much more this happens in pediatrics? Parents demanding antibiotics for Billy's sniffle....even though the doctor has explained over and over that antibiotics don't kill respiratory viruses.

Practitioners at all levels and scopes of medicine are guilty of this.

Your condescending attitude (seen in this comment along with all of those in the "thread that will never die") towards mid-levels is undeniable, which I'm sure makes working with you a miserable experience. I bet nurses at all levels loathe working with you.

Btw, that condescending and arrogant attitude is seen by your patients.
