Misuse

One study on respiratory tract infections found "physicians were more likely to prescribe antibiotics to patients who they believed expected them, although they correctly identified only about 1 in 4 of those patients".[1] Multifactorial interventions aimed at both physicians and patients can reduce inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics. [2] Delaying antibiotics for 48 hours while observing for spontaneous resolution of respiratory tract infections may reduce antibiotic usage; however, this strategy may reduce patient satisfaction.[3]

Robert, I find this section to be rather technical without really giving much information, so I would like to rewrite it. I have removed the from WP tag, as no information from WP is still present, and I would like to remove any WP tag from such a large article if at all possible. Let's try and make this article a fully CZ original.
