You went to a doctor because you had a tick, or because you had symptoms? (like the red ring)

for a prophylactic dose of antibiotics after having a tick latched for an unknown amount of time

the US gets a persistent amount of emergency room visits for this sort of treatment (tens of thousands annually), and with all the news about increased tick and lyme exposure a larger number of people treat it preemptively, especially with children
