Medical News of the Obvious
We're running a little low this week, but here's what we've got:
Adults who eat rapidly or until they're full are more likely to be overweight, a study in BMJ reports. Just tell your heavier patients to slow down and chew. Problem solved.
Doctors are more likely to prescribe drugs to their patients-- in this case clopidogrel (Plavix) to stent patients-- when they have fewer hoops (like prior authorization) to jump through, the NEJM reports.
