Overview

The Drugs Don't Work - A Penguin Special by Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer for EnglandIf we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again (David Cameron, Prime Minister) Antibiotics add, on average, twenty years to our lives.For over seventy years, since the manufacture of penicillin in 1943, we have survived extraordinary operations and life-threatening infections.We are so familiar with these wonder drugs that we take them for granted.The truth is that we have been abusing them: as patients, as doctors, as travellers, in our food. No new class of antibacterial has been discovered for twenty six years and the bugs are fighting back.If we do not take responsibility now, in a few decades we may start dying from the most commonplace of operations and ailments that can today be treated easily.
