Exactly right. As a nurse for 50 years, (especially the 26 years I worked in the ER) I cannot count the number of times patients pleaded, and even got angry because they insisted they needed a prescription to make them better. We, the doctors and nurses, would often be told we were incompetent or stupid if we told them how to care for themselves or their child until the virus ran its course.( typically 10 days).

Yep!
