Fun fact: they prescribe the same dosage of azithromycin for a toddler as an adult. Works well if the toddler actually has a bacterial infection. Not so much on the adult. This intentionally underprescribing of antibiotics is how we really get drug resistant infections.

Ever noticed how "the flu" covers such a wide variety of symptoms and there is no definitive test to see if you're contaminated?

Actually never had a doc prescribe antibiotics without some test first. That's rare.
And it doesn't do anything against flu viruses.

Flu is viral, antibiotics won't help. Your doctor sounds like a moron.

I don't have a doctor because modern medicine is a scam with moronic doctors operating as the middle men.
