In neonatal resuscitation, using too much of oxygen aggressively is considered not a wise step. Resuscitation can be started with as much as room air (FiO2 of 0.21) in term babies. No need to thrust oxygen on the baby out of panic and our lack of understanding of science.

One outdated medical practice I believe needs a major rethink is the overuse of antibiotics for viral infections—it’s ineffective, promotes resistance, and demands more responsible prescribing.

One major outdated medical practice is think is people still purchasing OTC drugs just by self diagnosis. Even some drugs on this list are not safe like first generation antihistamines and codeine based cough syrups, they must be given if prescribed by the doctor.
