New one for me on Obama. When did he get on this role?

Super bugs are partially out of control. Will take thousands of deaths until it is figured out.

Stop over prescribing antibiotics for a start. Make sure patients realise that, if prescribed them, they talk them properly as prescribed. The lack of joined up care and the ability of patient to go 'doctor shopping' means they can go from one to the other getting more meds they don't need. I one had a doctor in Japan try and give a me prescription of oral antibiotics for an obviously viral sore throat - completely and utterly ineffective apart from contributing to the resistance problem. I'd gone about an ear problem anyway, something else that didn't need oral antibiotics.
