o que não saquei foi o FOR nessa frase..ela foi lá para pegar os antibióticos ou para se tratar das consequencias deles?
VEJAM O CONTEXTO:

She probably had lung cancer, and it was probably in an advanced stage. She needed antibiotics right away to get the infection under control, after which further testing would be arranged.
The patient came back to our center for the antibiotics. The specialist had told her what he had found and had given her an indication of the grave prognosis she faced. I stepped back into the patient’s space and said with sadness, “This hasn’t been a very good day for you, has it?”

agree  marinagil: Essa é a tradução + fiel ao texto de origem. Mas como a postulante Lilian tinha dúvida se a paciente voltara por causa (em decorrência) dos antibióticos, achei cabível um verbo (tomar, pegar) p/a explicitar a ação da paciente.

ATENÇÃO: a fórmula proposta pelo colega rhandler é a tradução + fiel, especialmente se for um texto + literário. A Lilian deve escolher a resposta dele.
