You should probably learn more about standard of care before making statements like these...
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

LoL...it's a flag when an antibiotic is given? News to me...I will call you as an expert witness when I am sued for not giving grandma antibiotics for her pyelonephritis.
And I am not angry...I just get aggravated when ignorant people post their ignorant opinions about medicine. You're an auditor, not an MD. Your comment was ignorant and condescending...but I have come to expect that on this board.
Carry on.

Wish it was that simple. You and your insurance company have zero liability when a doctor chooses not to prescribe and antibiotic and the pt develops a more severe infection. Sometimes it's lazier to not prescribe it and call everything viral. Especially now that BCBS here in AR is starting a "value care" initiative for not rx'ing antibiotics amongst many other things, I can give you an endless list of bullshite I've had to see and deal with after the prior MD has gone to great lengths not to prescribe an antibiotic to help protect their metrics.
If they're wanting to sue the MD in the case disussed in the OP, just imagine if he didn't prescribe an antibiotic at all.
