Helicopterous & Antibiotics

We always have a joke about Helicopterous as their answer to most things is an injection in the bum and antibiotics.

Even when I phone up for a doctor to come round yesterday, the receptionist said "ah maybe you need antibiotics" - after telling her my symptoms,

For about 3 weeks now my throat has been really sore with white and red sores, feels likes something is stuck in my throat the whole time. On top of that my tummy has not been great. Ive had a continual pain with bloating and extreme cramps. The doctor said I had a bad throat infection and heard alot of gas in my stomach. They took my blood presure, temperature, heart beat too, so its a good old check they do.

They prescribed me antibiotics, a tablet to take after food for the gas and strepsils. I took my first dose of antibiotics last night and 2 hours later my throat was already getting better. My tummy is almost back to normal too.

I know antibiotics are bad but when they work, they really work.
