Just left the minor emergency clinic on WLHP & 1960 & I'm fuming. I insisted 5 times on antibiotics &/ or a supressant for DD's brinchitis. They're refusing & saying just albuterol nebulizers & to let her cough for the next two ******* weeks. I didn't take her in so she can cough for two weeks & let it run it's course, I went to put an end to it. I will NOT be returning. If she's not better by tomorrow night, I'll be taking her to a REAL doctor & not some fresh out of med school know it all who can't get a job at a REAL hospital.
@Heathur: Not sure why no antibiotics were given but they are for infections that are bacterial in nature, not viral. Maybe they didn't give cough supressants because they are trying to get her to expell the mucous in her lungs, that's what the body does to get rid of it. I think checking in with your doc is a good idea. Sorry the munchkin isn't feeling well.
