Jeez. We have that situation too. Fun part is, doctors are blamed for being a waste of time and money (consulting fees and blah blah) if they end up actually prescribing antibiotics.

Yes you just described the feel in my country and even mine partly. But that is because good doctors run away in other EU countries and the educational and financial system is a mess.
