4. Antibiotics...

Are not always helpful even when they are what you need. I have had, the last two times I had to take antibiotics, episodes of the antibiotics making me sicker through rejection.

This is serious. I took them and for about two or three days they seemed to help... then they didn't. Suddenly I couldn't eat, anything I did eat went right through me hardly digested and I ws in terrible stomach/intestinal pain as well. And the infection was not going away and started getting worse.

How is that? Some antibiotics will give the patient C. diff (also known as Clostridioides difficile or C. difficile) is a germ (bacterium) that causes diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation of the colon). It's estimated to cause almost half a million infections in the United States each year.

She might have suffered from this and it would have been negligent to not inquire about symptoms and test her for it even out of caution.

Just to let you know.
