Two weeks ago a doctor lost his license here in Norway due to long term, high dosage antibiotic usage: http://translate.google.no/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&pre...


His case is/was extreme: He was prescribing extreme high doses for extended periods of time to a small number of patients because some believe it works against extreme cases of Lyme disease, despite total lack of evidence.

It's rather shocking that he's been allowed to keep practicing as long as he has.
