I came in due to a long time (2 weeks)  with cold symptoms that had worsened in the last few days. They did a chest X-ray which cancelled out pneumonia. I was then told there was nothing more they could do. I am pretty sure I have a sinus infection which could have been helped with antibiotics however, without any testing the NP declared that it was a virus and that there was nothing they could do. How do they know that, without any testing or swabbing at all? It is frustrating to spend your time and money and not even get some kind of definitive testing done to see if antibiotics could have helped. I could have stayed home and declared the sickness to "be a virus" as well. I go to the doctors expecting more expertise in determining the actual illness rather than someone guessing, as I could have done myself.
