A patient comes in with complaint of common cold/sore throat, then you performed a physical as well as interview/ROS and diagnosed with laryngitis and tonsillitis. Then you prescribe GENERAL antibiotic and ORDER a CBC lab work.
Please explain the part of CBC(lab work)? Precautionary or MONEY-SUCKER? I just can't understand what kind of doctor does that by prescribing GENERAL ANTIBIOTIC and lab work at the same time? If there is a good logical reason behind this, please teach me, I am willing to listen and learn.
Thanks in advance!
