Abstract:
Antibiotics will soon no longer cure many illnesses due to escalating bacterial resistance. Still, physicians continue prescribing antibiotics for viral illnesses. This book examines parent-physician conversations, asking how small differences in phrasing affect prescribing decisions, and how physicians deal with the social dilemma pitting individuals against a greater social good.
