Ah, but don't forget the bedside manner.
yes. Tell that to the ones who insist we be "efficient" and not waste time on the patient.Dr. Heineken fills his teaching days with similar lessons, which can mean struggling upstream against a current of technology. Through his career, he has seen the advent of CT scans, ultrasounds, M.R.I.’s and countless new lab tests. He has watched peers turn their backs on patients while struggling with a new computer system, or rush patients through their appointments while forgetting the most fundamental tools — their eyes and ears.For these reasons, he makes a point of requiring something old-fashioned of his trainees.“I tell them that their first reflex should be to look at the patient, not the computer,” Dr. Heineken said. And he tells the team to return to each patient’s bedside at day’s end. “I say, ‘Don’t go to a computer; go back to the room, sit down and listen to them. And don’t look like you’re in a hurry.’ ”

Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded to Quantum Physicists Serge Haroche and David Wineland
While Wineland used light to measure the quantum state of atoms, Haroche used as a sensitive probe of light particles trapped in a cavity. Both of these techniques have been applied to investigate the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, and might lead to the development of quantum computers or incredibly precise atomic clocks.

But the experimental vaccine, which is about to go into human trials after being successfully tested in the laboratory, could be a major breakthrough.
Named NexVax2, it works by ‘reprogramming’ the body’s immune system so that it does not attack the gut in response to gluten in the diet.
