Doctor: Successive governments ruined healthcare — blame is misplaced

Dr Jarosław Mijas, head of the Paediatric Clinical Ward in Strzelce Opolskie, says Poland's healthcare problems — including doctors' pay — are the result of years of populist, election-driven reforms by successive governments. He argues that blame is currently being placed in the wrong direction. His comments came in response to the government's newly announced healthcare reform proposals.

Are successive governments primarily to blame for Poland's failing healthcare system?

Xbox layoffs reduce DOOM developer id Software to support studio size

Microsoft's Xbox layoffs have hit id Software, the studio behind DOOM, so severely that it has been reduced to the size of a support studio. While Microsoft avoided closing any studios outright, a developer commented they are "not convinced there's a viable way forward." This is only the first phase of cuts, with a further 1,600 job losses still to come.

Should Microsoft close studios outright rather than reduce them to support-studio size?

'The Pitt' actors Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober earn Emmy noms after self-submitting

Brittany Allen and Jeff Kober earned Emmy nominations for guest star roles in "The Pitt" after self-submitting, as HBO did not include them in its official studio submissions. HBO chief Casey Bloys explained that the show has hundreds of performers and the studio cannot strategically submit everyone. Bloys said HBO actively encourages self-submission in such cases.

Should studios be required to submit all performers for Emmy consideration?

MenB vaccine offers men no protection against gonorrhoea, major study finds

A major study has concluded that the Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine does not protect men against gonorrhoea infections, despite being offered to at-risk groups on that basis. Earlier research had suggested a possible cross-protective effect, but the new findings contradict those hopes. Scientists are calling for the development of a dedicated gonorrhoea vaccine.

Should the MenB vaccine still be offered to at-risk men despite offering no gonorrhoea protection?
