Bureaucratic Assholes.

My family and I have been at war with an almost invisible enemy for the better part of 3 years. We had a year of uneasy peace, where we thought we had won, but the enemy was just laying low.
The enemy is strep throat.
All of us have had strep at least 20 times in the past 3 years. This is not an exaggeration. Our family doctor is only available once a week, so most of the time we've gone to a local mediclinic.
Each time we go, we get a different doctor. The doctor gets the same file every time however. We've been told close to dozen times, that there are no antibiotic resistant strains of strep throat in Canada, and that the pain we've felt when we go in is highly unlikely to be strep, as we have just been treated with a course of anti-biotics for it. We then tell them, "Look, there hasn't been a month in 3 years that our home has been strep free. We all know what it feels like, we have strep." At this point the doctor will reluctantly do the old throat swab, all the while informing us that it's most likely just a virus, and he's not going to treat it until he sees some test results.
So whoever the victim is that week will suffer for another 3 days until we get the inevitable phone call "The patient has strep, can you come down and get the prescription you asked for 3 days ago."
Then we go down, and they try to prescribe us some kind of weak shit like penicillin or amoxicillin and we tell them "Look, my wife works with the wife of an infectious diseases research specialist at the U of S. She talked to him about our family's predicament, and he asked for the swab results to be sent to him last year. He found that we have a strain that is resistant to amoxicillin and penicillin, can you prescribe something else." and they'll get indignant, because we haven't been to med school, and they'll prescribe us amoxicillin, telling us in their condescending 'I'm a doctor and you're not" way that if it doesn't work, come back next week, and we'll treat it with something else.
The jist of this is that tonight I'm going to pack up my 3 kids and head down to the doctor, because my oldest daughter has strep, and has had it for about 2 weeks now. We went to see the doctor on the first day, he told us she was faking but swabbed her anyway, then 3 days later when he said "Wow, it is strep" he prescribed amoxicillin, and now a week later I'm taking her back in because this strain is amoxicillin resistant, but they don't freakin' listen. Grr.
