It is not a matter of misquoting, but it may be selective quoting. Dave Davis is correct that the GAC “guideline note”1 mentions the overuse of antibiotics for acute otitis media. But the recommendations themselves2 advise that symptomatic patients be treated with antibiotics; only for asymptomatic patients can antibiotics be deferred. My plea3 was to be even more restrictive.
