Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) is a virus that regularly infects humans but causes no disease. Past studies by the same researchers show that it promotes tumor cell death in cervical cancer cells infected with human papillomavirus.

But what I am writing about here is a formal problem; literally, this essay aims to be an explication of some of the problems affecting the the , if you will - of how we as a nation conceptualize our physicians. What I write might seem accusatory so I have included references to show that I am not alone in these concerns. Nevertheless, my goal is not to put anyone on the defensive. I should add here that while this post is not about the current health care reforms being enacted, I do in fact believe that the reforms being proposed by the current administration have the strongest chance of preserving the best values of the traditional patient-doctor relationship.

Here’s a fact.

Strakowski M.D., who is also Vice President of Research at the University of Cincinnati Health System and the Stanley and Mickey Kaplan Professor and Chairman of its Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Strakowski writes, "Recently, psychiatric diagnosis is on our minds with DSM-V committees in full swing.

Is Our Society Manufacturing Depressed People? Our society is in the throes of a virtual epidemic of depression.

Is Our Society Manufacturing Depressed People?

The numbers are quite staggering. More than twenty percent of the American population will experience at least one episode of what we refer to as clinical depression. We need to look deeper into this phenomenon to understand it and overcome it. My contention is, firstly, that our cultural values and memes induce us to live in ways that are, indeed, depressing.

CPR: Charisma, Professionalism & Rapport on the Gold Coast, Australia

CPR is a an acronym that can help physicians during their interactions with patients as well as other people in roles where they are assisting or even simply interacting with other people.
