Warning: the truth may be doctored

Article Abstract:

Many Australians hold unsubstantiated beliefs about public health. These include the reliability of test, that doctors always make informed decisions, that natural therapies are preferable to standard treatment for infectious disease, that training more doctors will improve health in the outback, and that Australia spends too much on keeping indigenous people healthy. None of these issues can be regarded simplistically.

The beat generation

Article Abstract:

Better living standards and increased awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle have contributed to a decrease in heart disease, but longer life expectancy has led to an increase in heart failure. Heart failure is reaching epidemic proportions in developed countries. It is an expensive, hard-to-treat condition that affects 20% of people over 80 years of age.
