This is a problem that any reputable doctor will confess to. The legal dimension is the root of the problem, as doctors mitigate short term risks and consequently the liability by oversubscribing antibiotics even though they are fully aware that the over consumption of antibiotics 1) messup the immune system of the patient 2) lead to the evolution of tougher bugs with greater antibiotic resistance.
Old school doctors have known this for quite some time and I have seen some of them not use gloves, and known one who intentionally has poor bathroom hygiene specifically for the sole purpose of maintaining a healthy immune system.
