Sesame Street Songs & Fundamental Lessons For Antibiotic Prescribing

Sesame Street episodes are full of important lessons for young children and as it turns out adults can take a few pointers too. In listening to these songs over the years I have found myself repeatedly reflecting on how their words are applicable to the fundamentals for antibiotic stewardship. Perhaps because the songs are so catchy they get stuck in your head easily. Perhaps because they really speak truths.
