Medicating in a hospital tank

OK. I'm way cornfused.

If you put your fish in a hospital tank, assuming it's a fairly small tank, and your'e supposed to medicate for, say, two weeks, and the medication is supposed to get to a certain concentration, how do you manage your water parameters in the hospital tank? Especially if it's an antibiotic that kills the good bacteria? You can't change the water without taking the medication out, but your fish is still peeing in the pool.

(Re)medicate the new water? Dump a half a bottle of Prime into the hospital tank? Is this a product shortfall?

why are you medicating? sometimes theres other healing ways
but you dont usually keep a cycle in a tank with medication and you certainly cant go 2 weeks without a water change...although ive never had to medicate any fish, what medication says go 2 weeks without changing the water? I would think that alone would hurt the fish more
