Dr. Deepak Kumaraswamy has written that....
Its a Good start. One of the factors which we all should consider is the irrational use of medicine especially the antibiotics and many factors that guide the use of antibiotics. Considering the vastness of this topic it would be better to post this topic for a wider discussion and summate the views to form a strategy on which this theme will work in relation to Increased adverse drug reactions and drug events and Increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Dear Dr.Tamhankar,
This is Dr.Radha Madhavan, Professor & HOD, Department of Microbiology, SRM Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, SRM Nagar,Kattankulathur, Kanchipuram DistrictTamilnadu 603203.
I am planning to conduct a CME programme on " antibiotic Susceptibility testing" for Microbiologists from Tamilnadu and Podicherry states. I intend involving clinicians also in this programme.This is mainly to create awareness among not only microbiologists but also among clinicians for rational use and proper interpretation of laboratory tests, taking into account the age, clinical background, consideration of renal and hepatic involvement of the patient for whom the antibiotic sensitivity testing is performed.
I would be very happy if IIMAR also would consider conducting such programmes to create more awareness about this problem.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely
Radha Madhavan

I have the first generation iphone and I want to sell it. I only have the iphone itself. However there are some small cracks in the screen, but it works PERFECTLY. How much do you think I should sell it for? Someone offered me $50, is that too low?
