  Jon goes to the doctor for an infection. His doctor writes two prescriptions and tells him that he must take both drugs if he wants to get better and that if he takes only one drug, he might not get better. He notices that they are both antibiotics and wonders why he must take two instead of one. Is the doctor just trying to make Jon buy more drugs?
