For Medical History Fans, from Pitt Maner III

1) "The leechbook is one of the earliest examples of what might loosely be called a medical textbook. It seems Anglo-Saxon physicians may actually have practised something pretty close to the modern scientific method, with its emphasis on observation and experimentation. Bald's Leechbook could hold some important lessons for our modern day battle with anti-microbial resistance." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-32117815

2) and an interesting blog published by the Society of General Microbiology on resistant microbes and microbes in general http://microbepost.org/
