Not sure what kind of doctor you go to but for a doctor to prescribe something over the phone by just listening to the symptoms seems like he would be setting himself up for a malpractice lawsuit. Doctors use to do this years ago not sure they do it very often anymore.I agree he would have been better paying the $25 dollar co-pay than the $500 he is going to end up paying.
