“Depression screening is easy to do, we know it works, and it can save
lives,” said Michael Fleming, professor of family and community medicine at
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “It should be done for
every student who walks into a health center.”

Dr. Michael Ison, an expert in infectious disease at Northwestern, says it’s
not too late to get the vaccine.

“According to the CDC, the strains that are in circulation currently are very
well matched to the vaccine so it should provide excellent efficacy,” said
Dr Ison. “The other thing you have to recognize is that once you get the flu
vaccine is only protecting you against flu and it takes a couple of weeks
for that protection to develop so if you get exposed the day after you get
the vaccine or you get exposed to another virus that isn’t influenza you
still may get sick.”

“The sex appeal of this is that you use (an absorbable stent), and after a
couple of years it is gone,” said Dr. Charles Davidson, an interventional
cardiologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, who has worked as an adviser
to Abbott’s cardiology device development.

Michael Fleming of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in
Chicago says these depressed students are not screened for depression even
though about 2 percent to 3 percent of these depressed students have had
suicidal thoughts or are considering suicide.

“Depression screening is easy to do, we know it works, and it can save
lives,” Fleming says in a statement. “It should be done for every student
who walks into a health center. These kids might drop out of school because
they are so sad or hurt or kill themselves by drinking too much or taking
drugs.
