It took a lot of shopping around, but I was finally able to locate a doctor in my area that usually doesn't write prescriptions when we go in. Instead, he'll tell us what he sees, describe the differences in symptoms between viral and bacterial infections, and send us on our way. We do get prescriptions, some of the time, but more often than not we'll get a detailed explanation and our questions answered.
I believe that our doctor has quite a few patients get upset with him, because they go in expecting a prescription and don't get one. So, I try to let him know that we appreciate his perspective! :)
If you feel your doctor is prescription-happy, shop around. You may be happier seeing someone else.

Why can't we all just get along
