1.The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
“Doctorshave long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patientsfrom healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis hasnow been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups ofpatients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscleinjuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine,took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Theirrecuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typicallyexpected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton,a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patientsbelieved they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation timewas not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who arediagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibioticsas part of their treatment.”

"Duringthe past year, Alta Manufacturing had thirty percent more on-the-jobaccidents than nearby Panoply Industries, where the work shifts are onehour shorter than ours. Experts believe that a significant contributingfactor in many on-the-job accidents is fatigue and sleep deprivationamong workers. Therefore, to reduce the number of on-the-job accidentsat Alta and thereby increase productivity, we should shorten each ofour three work shifts by one hour so that our employees will getadequate amounts of sleep."
