I guess I would clarify this with the physician. There is a big push in the last few years called Antibiotic Stewardship. The culture has shifted from using antibiotics for everything to a very strict protocol. Perhaps that is influencing his decision?
Your signature line states you are not on antibiotics right now. Is the hesitation that he does not want to do IV therapy?
I know this is discouraging, but really only he can answer this question.
