  Postgraduate Medicine: Breaking bad news to patients
However, bad news can come in many forms: the diagnosis of a chronic illness (eg, diabetes mellitus), disability, or loss of function (eg, impotence) (3); a treatment plan that is burdensome, painful, or costly; and even information that physicians may perceive as neutral or benign.
How bad news is presented may affect patients' comprehension of and adjustment to the news (2,10,11) as well as their satisfaction with their physician (12).
Barriers to effective communication of bad news include physician fears--the fear of being blamed by the patient, of not knowing all of the answers sought by the patient, of inflicting pain on the patient, and even the physician's own fear of illness and death.

 ABCNEWS.com : Poll: As Convention Opens, Bush Has Edge
Bush also has reclaimed an advantage in being seen as more honest and trustworthy, bolstered his rating for strong leadership and moved to a 10-point lead as better qualified to serve as commander in chief, erasing Kerry's edge in the latter after his convention late last month.
Overall, Kerry's service is still a net positive: More people say they're more likely to support him for president because of his military service in the Navy, 24 percent, than less likely, 14 percent (most, 61 percent, say it won't affect their vote).
There may be more potential downside for Kerry in a separate issue, his prominent opposition to the Vietnam War after leaving the military.

It appears that at one or more stages in the crystallization process, a separation of the solid and liquid components of a magma frequently occurs.
More U is found in carbonate rocks, while Th has a very strong preference for granites in comparison.
Later, more of the crustal rock would be incorporated by melting into the magma, and thus the magma would be richer in uranium and thorium and poorer in lead.

 More Bad News About Vitamin E?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
What’s more, Dr. Blumberg notes, 12.1 percent of patients who were taking a placebo developed heart failure compared to 13.5 percent of those taking vitamin E. The difference — barely more than one percent - is trivial.
More importantly, no heart failure risk has ever been reported in any other of the many clinical trials of vitamin E. The HOPE-TOO study was published in the March 16, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and initially included 9,541 patients who took 400 IU daily
Even more discouraging is the willingness of prestigious journals like JAMA to publish editorials that are likely to generate scare headlines, especially when a careful reading of a study’s fine print doesn’t support such conclusions.

These damage the tissues of the body, and are thought to stimulate the build up of fatty deposits in the arteries.

For starters, the European nations are not excited about the prospects of war, preferring a more limited operation to seize whoever is responsible for the attacks.
As Girardet details (and as I had been wondering), the leader of the faction opposing the Taliban in Afghanistan was killed two days before the attacks in New York and Washington.
Note that the account in the Financial Times makes it sound much more as though Pakistan is hoping that aiding the United States will deliver Kashmir to Pakistan.

The good news is that foreign travel could be cheaper, since rising interest rates tend to push up the value of the pound, although manufacturers who export goods abroad will find their customers have to pay more for their wares, which will make them less competitive in the world market.
This will spell bad news for the retail sector, travel firms and holiday companies, as we will all be keeping our wallets tightly shut.
And it could be bad news for house builders and the housing market, since a rise in rate will make property less affordable and take homes right out of the reach of first-time buyers.

More recently, Gurnee says, Dollar Tree decided to shift entirely to strips, although it still has about 250 mall stores.
What could hurt retailers more than rent increases, says Tom Dwyer, manager of retail solutions at Reis, is the tendency of chains “to boost numbers on the top line by going for more stores and worrying about productivity later.
So, is the day coming when more retailers are forced to forsake their prime spots in favor of a location a little more downmarket?

 eMJA: Maguire, Breaking bad news: explaining cancer diagnosis and prognosis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Audiotape recordings of consultations have shown that doctors break the bad news of a cancer diagnosis to patients in a predictable and routine way regardless of patients' individual information needs.
On being interviewed at the end of the consultation, patients reported that they were left with important, but undisclosed, concerns and also felt that the information given had been inadequate for their needs.
Without systematic training, the breaking of bad news and discussions of cancer prognosis are likely to fall short of existing guidelines and patients' needs and expectations.

 Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Review
It's almost weird to hear the group pumping out tracks that bubble with such a vibe, but most of the time it actually works and while the album isn't nearly their best, it's another solid entry from a group who has yet to release a dud.
Probably the biggest complaint could be that the group has tightened up their sound even more on this release, leaving behind even more of the roughshod qualities that made their earlier discs blister with such energy.
One noticible thing about the release is that there are a lot more synth sounds on tracks, and sometimes (as in "The View"), the guitars very nearly take a backseat to the bouncy keyboard melodies.

An estimated production increase of 2 percent reflects the larger planted area (16.3 million acres) reported in USDA’s June 29 acreage report, which was partially offset by higher estimated abandonment due to adverse conditions in Texas.
Domestic mill use was projected down 3.4 percent from last month, indicating both deeper cuts in retail use and more permanent reductions in the spinning industry than previously anticipated.

 Bad News Bears (2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Along with others who were born in the late Sixties, I felt that seeing the new *Bad News Bears* was somehow mandatory, if only to indulge in the guilty pleasure of nostalgia.
Since the script of this new version is quite identical to the original, much of the degradation displayed here must be put at the feet of Thornton, a notorious ad-libber.
This degeneration of standards can legitimately be argued away as the eternal complaint of the old, but the feeling persists that the original *Bad News Bears* was still made for KIDS, despite the more realistic dialog, situations, and characters.

Bad news as an idea was formed in 1983 as part of the "Comic Strip Presents" TV series.
The Spinal Tap movie was released in 1982, "Bad News Tour" was first aired in 1984, and it looks fairly obvious that Adrian Edmondson was influenced by the Spinal Tap movie in writing this.
However, "Bad News Tour" is not a straight copy of Spinal Tap, and the portrayal of the clearly awful (although confident that they will still become massive) heavy metal band is full of excellent observational comedy lampooning the UK "heavy metal" scene of the early 1980s.
