The average cold or flu won't have me going to the doctor either, partly because I consider it "weak" to want/need help with that, partially because I consider it a waste of resources. The health care system is overloaded as it is (here), no need to burden it with my snivels.
However, I don't understand how it could escape anyone's notice that not finishing the prescribed antibiotic cure is bad for you and bad for humanity. The few times I've been prescribed antibiotics the doctor has told me sternly to finish the cure and the pharmacist has also told me sternly to finish the cure and they've also explained why. It's impossible to get hold of antibiotics without being subjected to this lecture!
Personally, I think the reason most people don't finish their cures like obedient citizens is because they want to save some pills for the next time they feel a bit under the weather but can't be bothered to go to the doctor for it.
