Great, so now every doctor will prescribe it for an simple ear infection and it will come in every hand soap rendering it useless in 5 years.

I think you mean "new antibiotic" found in wallaby milk.
Now, who's gonna start milking those wallabies?

1)I did a quick copy paste, if you check the story youll see.
2)the headline implies something with the significance of penicillin once youve read the story.

bingo...
Also, every "the world revolves around me" type person will demand this from their doctors. I can't help but laugh when someone INSISTS on having penicillin regardless of the ailment .

Patients who demand antibiotics for every little viral infection are a big problem when it comes to resistance.
What's worse is when a patient does need an antibiotic, and penicillin will do just fine, but the patient wants the "new & better" antibiotic, because PCN is an "old" drug, so must not work as well.

Maybe we should make trying to browbeat doctors a jailable offense.
Probably a bad idea, but I have to admit it does make me smile.

Save your "stfu"s for the morons who post that some nobody celebrity is getting a crown redone or that he had a car accident. 
And relax...

I don't understand that mentality, as I am the exact opposite when it comes to ailment: I will avoid medication until it's absolutely necessary. I prefer to let my body do its job (while I still help it with more rest and vitamins) unless there's a risk of aggravation. People don't realise they are weakening their immune response with all these drugs, as well as making the bacteria stronger and more resistant to standard antibiotics.
I've recently had a small surgery to remove a sebaceous cyst in my back, and the doctor spontaneously prescribed me Cipro (a quinolone), which turned out to be a very potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic that should be prescribed only as a last resort. I'm glad I did some research before taking it, as it turns out a potential side-effect include spontaneous tendons rupture!  I asked another doctor, who told me a penicilin equivalent would do just fine, and even recommended me to not take it unless the wound is actually infected (it didn't and healed properly without any drugs).
