"While our results may imply that a strict all-business professionalism is superior, I think it's important to acknowledge that humor is really subjective," says Max D. Sandler.

"We've been working with families and other providers to learn the diagnostic criteria for what makes a urinary tract infection and to avoid treating when it's unnecessary," says Briony K. Varda, MD, MPH.
