Experts Call for Limiting Antibiotic Use
A group of antibiotic experts is calling for the government and industry to take steps to curtail the use of certain antibiotics in farm animals because the practice could have deadly consequences for humans. One of the main problems is certain antibiotics are used to promote growth in chickens, cows and other food-producing animals, which can lead to strains of bacteria resistant to the antibiotics. Many of these bacteria can then infect people and cause fatal illnesses if antibiotics are no longer effective against them.

Comprehensive Training May Produce More Empathic Doctors: Study Finds Primary Care Physicians Use Specific Skills, Attitude Training to Increase Medical Student Empathy
How well doctors empathize with patients - a key part of their "bedside manner" - may result from teaching a combination of specific skills and comprehensive attitudes in medical school. A recent study shows that physicians are divided on exactly what approach to use to teach empathy, and demonstrates that limiting the teaching of empathy to actions like eye contact and body language won't alone help students learn to better understand their patients. Some felt that teaching specific skills, like giving feedback, appropriate touch and even making follow-up calls, made empathy easier to teach and made learning easier to evaluate. But skills alone ignore much of the richness of what actually occurs when a doctor and patient interact.
