ResumoWhat is breaking news in medicine? Our world is full of breaking news. The ticker tape on 24-h news programmes, half-hourly radio bulletins, the Internet and Twitter, all lend themselves to sensationalism. Breaking news is murder, terrorism or the transfer of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. Health isn't breaking news, unless a government minister has resigned or a health professional's callousness or ineptitude has killed patients.
