You should probably learn more about standard of care before making statements like these...
The lady came to the doctor for an abscess with likely mild surrounding cellulitis (we see this every day in the ER). The standard of care is incision and drainage or warm compresses if the doctor feels like it will burst on its own +/- antibiotics. Now, unless the lady was septic and near death when he saw her, then he did not commit malpractice and was not lazy.

But I am an auditor for a large healthcare system.
doctors lazily handing out antibiotics is alway a hot topic issue we have
I am simply saying it is a flag to me when I hear an antibiotic was given. However, in this case, it may have 100% correct protocol. Which I even stated in my original posts
But I am not surprised a few doctors in here blew by this. Doctors getting angry at non MDs saying anything about medicine is pretty standard
I am used to them wanting to kill me and anyone else in management
