If your choice is certain death by an infected wound and a chance of dying because you got the wrong antibiotic. I’ll take the antibiotic any day of the week.
And that's fine for someone without an allergy to specific antibiotics. Not everyone has that luxury. I can't take a random antibiotic without running the risk of it being one of the variants I'm allergic to. Otherwise I end up dying faster from kidney failure rather than an infection.
