The self-medication trait is quite prevalent, atleast in developing countries, where people think doctors just shove extra medicine down their throat to make money so they self-adjust the dose and stop eating the moment they feel better. Then to make things worse, they never throw the remaining "good" medicine away and self-administer that the next time things get bad. When this remaining "good" medicine doesn't work, they go to doctor again and repeat the cycle.

I can understand why many people think it's just a standardised fits-the-medicine-jar prescription when the label says 'take two a day for two weeks' as if their ailment adheres to strict calendar periods.

No where near as bad as this woman obviously, as antibiotics did work on his infection.
