Sentence doctors hate to hear - antibiotics

“I was taking some antibiotics I had left-over…” 
======
This is wrong, wrong, wrong. First, taking antibiotics willy-nilly is never a good idea, and is a perfect way of causing antibiotic resistance. Second, there should never be “left-over” antibiotics. This shows that the patient didn’t follow the instructions last time they were put on antibiotics (which is another excellent cause of resistance).
