When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
A medical disaster looms on the horizon.
Antibiotic effectiveness is failing while strains of life-threatening multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) continue to rise. Vaccines cannot solve the problem. Newer and stronger drugs can’t cure it. More research is unnecessary because we already know the root cause: overuse of antibiotics.
Dr. Peter Patterson understands that using antibiotics “just in case” is ingrained in our culture. Everyone, from health care professionals to patients and their advocates, shares the blame—but we cannot afford to let the practice continue. Becoming Good Stewards of Antibiotics is a call to action to restore and preserve antibiotic effectiveness.
Every chapter of Becoming Good Stewards of Antibiotics offers key takeaways you can immediately begin implementing. Discover actionable suggestions for improved patient care and better protocols. Underscored with wry wit and true-to-life tales, Dr. Patterson warns of the tragedy of a post-antibiotic era as he explains how to prevent it from happening.
