A recent study found that urgent care clinics are overprescribing antibiotics on a massive scale. The study found that nearly half of all patients who go to urgent care seeking treatment for cold and flu symptoms are being prescribed antibiotics, this is three times the amount for patients who seek treatment for the same symptoms at a traditional doctor’s office.
