Case:

You examine a five-year old Asian American female, Junko Morioka, in your office and determine that she is suffering from Acute Otitis Media. Her mother mentions that Junko seems to get these ear infections every once in a while and that sometimes they ‘just go away’ and other times Junko seems to need antibiotics. Junko’s mother is worried about Junko developing a resistance to all these antibiotics and wonders aloud if antibiotics are really necessary.
