Are Antibiotics Harmful or Helpful?

When you don’t feel well, your doctor may prescribe you a long list of medications or an antibiotic, but other times patients may only receive a prescription for rest and fluids. “That can be one of the most difficult things because you go to the doctor’s office and you want something in return. But honestly, a lot of times it’s better for some tender loving care and some chicken noodle soup than an antibiotic,” explained Mary Lynn Skruck, a pharmacist with Lee Health.

Marshfield Clinic

When six Marshfield physicians pooled their medical expertise in 1916 to form Marshfield Clinic, they built the foundation for what has grown to become one of the largest private, multispecialty group practices in the United States. With 775 physicians in 80 medical specialties and subspecialties located in over 50 locations throughout northern, central and western Wisconsin, Marshfield Clinic is on the move. Although Marshfield Clinic has become synonymous with the city of Marshfield , the Clinic's "community" goes well beyond the immediate area, embracing nearly all of Wisconsin and much of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
