Paul Pepper: Christina Fuhrman, "Overuse of Antibiotics Part 2"

"Antibiotics save lives, without a doubt. They are so instrumental in our health care, but we use them irresponsibly. We use them for a cold or virus, which are totally unnecessary; they won't do anything for a virus. We use them as a preventative measure, and a lot times you don't need that, either." -- CHRISTINA FUHRMAN, antibiotic stewardship advocate
