MDs & DVMs

The current issue of the BMJ focuses on human health care and potential zoonoses. This issue is put together jointly by Physicians and Veterinarians. It is free of charge, on-line, to all visitors for a fascinating set of topics. As the Editors state: "The threat of an influenza pandemic in humans and the deaths of millions of birds around the world brings the link between human and animal health sharply into focus. Now is a good time to consider the wider connections between animal and human health and to think about how the medical and veterinary professions might work more closely together for the benefit of patients of all species. This joint issue of the BMJ and the Veterinary Record is an attempt to do that."
