Its actually more worse.
Its like "I seem to have sore throat, let me take this anti-biotic right now, so that it doesn't escalate to something big later"
And they are right too. Most doctors write down the same regimen of antibiotics every single time.
Either way most doctors in India care about nothing apart from money and their immediate interests. Many realize they will never do a MD, so there are a lot of small time clinics, with rudimentary testing labs for blood work. They only care about maximizing per visit consultation fees and commission they get from the pharmacy store next door.
Its a huge mess, and there are no ways to fix it given the population scale.
