In this month's Archimedes update, Dr Bob Phillips wonders about when to

act, when to stop acting, and when to do nothing at all - in the context

of diagnostic testing - and summarises two Archimedes reports; one on

whether or not to apply splints to neonates you've cannulated, the other

on the need for septic screens in neonates with soft tissue infections.
