@PaulSaxMD @robertpdickson There have also been studies like this showing higher mortality for pip-tazo in MSSA bacteremia; wonder if the anaerobic theory explains why!

@sigal_md @PaulSaxMD Yes, agree w you and Jake. that’s the problem — it’s hard to give clear guidance to teams on when to treat (and empirically cover for a history of previous coryne) other than ‘vibes.’ But it does feel like we are way over-treating

Good news @PaulSaxMD HAART means something else now
We just performed the first aortic valve repair at the MGH using the HAART rigid annuloplasty ring for a young man with a forme fruste bicuspid valve with “swiss cheese” leaflets. Thanks to these master surgeons, Drs. Sundt and Rankin for being there to support this endeavor.

@PaulSaxMD @IDSAInfo @RebecaPlank Also watercress / fasciola as a possible play-in team. Maybe work on their game, go to the NIT this year, raise their profile
